Driving growth and prosperity across UK innovation
We form a crucial link in the UK’s rich innovation ecosystem – helping organisations to demonstrate and de-risk their innovation strategies and to build internal capability that attracts further investment, creates jobs, trade and sustainable prosperity.
We work across multiple sectors such as health, net zero, digitisation and are building partnerships that helping the UK to fight dementia and cancer, power electric vehicles, deliver 5G, drive low-carbon technologies from home heating to wind energy, create opportunities from space orbit data, create systems and places that enhance quality of life and so much more.

Offshore Renewable Energy
Case Study
Addressing a market failure by providing real-world offshore wind demonstration opportunities
The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult has transformed the 7MW Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine (LDT) into the world’s most advanced, open-access offshore wind turbine dedicated to research and development and a unique test and demonstration asset.
Offshore Renewable Energy
Case Study
R&D partnership delivering global exports and £130 million UK manufacturing investment
In 2016, with an already well-established technology development partnership, the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult worked with JDR Cables to bring its pioneering 66kV cable technology to market, providing electrical testing throughout its development, qualification and testing programmes.
Satellite Applications
Case Study
Protecting UK interests and industry at sea – from space
Working with the Home Office, DEFRA and FCDO, the Satellite Applications Catapult has supported evolution of government policy while securing economic benefits in several area areas. Their work with Marine Protected Areas is using satellite technology to protect the fishing industry from orbit.
Satellite Applications
Case Study
Catalysing private sector funding for the space sector
When the Satellite Applications Catapult was created, one of its first priorities was to address the lack of private finance in the sector. By working with the investment community to educate them about space, the need for a dedicated venture capital fund was established, and by working with the British Business Bank the Catapult stimulated the development of the first dedicated fund committed to investing in innovative companies in the UK Space Sector.
