Catapults
Compound Semiconductor Applications
Case Study
Creating a new UK supply chain in automotive power electronics
Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult is playing a critical role in the development of supply chains for electric vehicles in the UK and across the globe – a market in power electronics, motors, and drives (PEMD) predicted to be worth £5 billion in the UK by 2025.
Connected Places
Case Study
Catalysing the future of flight
Connected Places Catapult is working at the leading edge of opportunity and innovation in aviation, spanning areas such as unscrewed air mobility, digitising airspace management and Zero Emission Flight.
Connected Places
Case Study
Stimulating investment in decarbonisation of UK cities
The Connected Places Catapult is leading a world-first alliance across the UK’s major cities to secure the long-term finance necessary for achieving net zero. The Cities Climate Investment Commission (3Ci) is helping cities to attract public and private sources of financing for a £300bn+ market opportunity for a multi-intervention place-based Net Zero transition.
Connected Places
Case Study
Sparking an innovation cluster in the Belfast City Region
Connected Places Catapult has been supporting place leaders in Belfast to create new opportunities for businesses since 2016, resulting in a successful bid for a City Region Deal which is forecast to deliver £2 billion in additional GVA and 10,000 new jobs.
Energy Systems
Case Study
Decarbonising local places: local area energy planning
Energy Systems Catapult pioneered the development of Local Area Energy Planning (LAEP) - a data driven and whole energy system approach that identifies the most cost-effective route for a local area to cut carbon emissions.
Energy Systems
Case Study
Decarbonising homes: smart, low carbon solutions
Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) has pioneered the use of digital technology to help companies develop innovative low carbon heating offers that work for consumers. This has led to the creation of a 1,500+ home ‘Living Lab’ where companies can rapidly test their smart home innovations with real consumers.
Energy Systems
Case Study
Digitalising the energy system
Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) has been at the centre of a huge collaborative effort with industry, Government and the regulator to unlock the potential of digital technology and data to transform the energy system. This includes introducing an open data approach and harnessing digital technology to create jobs, growth and new consumer-friendly market propositions.
High Value Manufacturing
Case Study
Industrial transformation
High Value Manufacturing Catapult has a proven track record in regenerating areas left behind by industrial change and has achieved genuine regional growth.
Medicines Discovery
Case Study
Transforming UK medical imaging
The Medicines Discovery Catapult is working to ensure the UK remains a world leader in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging, a data-rich non-invasive imaging modality that offers huge potential across the life sciences and is highly amenable to advances in AI.
Medicines Discovery
Case Study
Alchemab Therapeutics secures private funding for new treatments following collaboration
In 2021 Alchemab and Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC) collaborated on a Huntington’s disease focussed project, which supported Alchemab in securing significant private investment.
Medicines Discovery
Case Study
The Psychiatry Consortium – exploring new treatments for mental health conditions
Medicines discovery for challenging diseases requires a collaborative approach with a patient focus. In 2019 the Medicines Discovery Catapult established the Psychiatry Consortium as one of its patient focussed partnerships. It is a strategic collaboration of two leading medical research charities and seven international pharmaceutical companies, focusing on the unmet therapeutic needs of people living with mental health conditions.
Offshore Renewable Energy
Case Study
Collaboration enables record-low offshore wind energy prices and economic stimulus
Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult – collaborating to bring the most powerful offshore wind turbine in the world to market, enabling accelerated deployment of offshore wind to meet the UK’s net zero ambition, record low energy prices, unlocking billions in investment, thousands of green jobs and research, product and service development.
Satellite Applications
Case Study
Bringing space technology to Leicester – and beyond
Leicester is in the top 10% of UK areas in most need of economic growth, as published in the 2022 Mercury report. Despite this, Leicester has shown strong potential to grow its satellite data services and to exploit the opportunity of rapid satellite manufacturing, to boost local growth and create highly skilled jobs in the region.
Compound Semiconductor Applications
Case Study
Charging the compound semiconductor power house in South Wales
South Wales, once a national source of iron and coal, is today poised to become a global focus of semiconductor excellence and investment thanks to a consortium which includes the Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult.
