High Value Manufacturing
Case Study
High Value Manufacturing Catapult – Regenerating Local Communities
Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was once a focus for the industrial revolution, with rich and plentiful coal and iron ore deposits. The area became famed for its mining and ironworks, but with these industries no longer as prominent, Rotherham is today becoming expert in new sectors. Sitting proudly on the site of the former Orgreave colliery and coking works is the High Value Manufacturing Catapult’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC).
Cell and Gene Therapy
Case Study
The Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult: bringing new jobs, investment and long-term business success to Stevenage
Stevenage, which lies about 30 miles north of London, was named the UK’s first ‘New Town’ in 1946. For many years its population relied on the engineering jobs and skills developed by British Aerospace. But times have changed and today Stevenage stands at the forefront of an entirely new generation of advanced healthcare technology and discovery.
Digital
Case Study
5G innovation in the West Midlands
5G has massive potential for businesses and communities across the UK and the globe. And thanks in part to Digital Catapult, the West Midlands ( the area including Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country), is today right at the heart of what this new technology has to offer.
Energy Systems
Case Study
Local Area Energy Planning – how a global challenge is creating local opportunities
Energy Systems Catapult’s pioneering approach to supporting Local Authorities as they find ways to decarbonise and reduce emissions is turning a global challenge into local economic opportunities. Called Local Area Energy Planning (LAEP), this data driven and whole energy system approach identifies the most cost-effective ways for a local area to cut carbon emissions.
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.
Satellite Applications
Case Study
Stimulating a five-fold increase in the size of the UK space ecosystem
The Catapult’s support for a UK-wide space ecosystem, has led to a thriving national space economy, with five-fold growth in the number of UK companies actively involved in space. The sector now generates £15.8 billion for the UK economy, and employs 47,000 people. Companies supported by the Catapult have secured over £400 million in private investment.
Satellite Applications
Case Study
Satellite-enabled technologies to halt the loss of Kenya’s biodiversity
Providing UK businesses with the opportunity to help maintain Kenyan biodiversity, habitats and local livelihoods using the latest satellite application technology.
High Value Manufacturing
Case Study
International partnership develops time and cost-saving methodology in nuclear manufacturing
Medicines Discovery
Case Study
Launch of a drug discovery consortium to address the unmet therapeutic needs of people living with mental health conditions
The Psychiatry Consortium is a £4 million international collaboration between seven global pharmaceutical companies and two leading medical research charities, convened and managed by Medicines Discovery Catapult, to support high-value drug discovery projects that address the unmet therapeutic needs of people living with mental health conditions, including psychiatric symptoms associated with dementia.
Cell and Gene Therapy
Case Study
Growing new capabilities with German company Rentschler Biopharma SE
Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult partnered with German based Rentschler Biopharma to enable the establishment of new ATMP development and manufacturing capabilities in the UK, to benefit the UK and international demand and further strengthen the UK ecosystem and international supply chain.
Compound Semiconductor Applications
Case Study
Spearheading semiconductor research through a Taiwanese partnership
Confirming Taiwan as a key international partner for the UK’s semiconductor industry, the Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult formed a long term partnership with the Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan (ITRI) aimed at boosting bilateral collaboration.
Digital
Case Study
Facilitating access to the South East Asian market for UK tech suppliers
Digital Catapult partners with Malaysia’s Maxis TV to tap into UK specialist expertise using data to drive user experience.
Offshore Renewable Energy
Case Study
UK companies working with China to meet low carbon energy demand
The TUS -ORE Catapult Research Centre (TORC) is a leading renewable energy technology R&D centre enabling UK businesses to access what is predicted to become the world’s largest offshore wind market.
Cell and Gene Therapy
Case Study
Powering up the cell and gene therapy industry in the UK
Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult is building the world’s most complete advanced therapies ecosystem, creating UK industry attractiveness with potential for inward investment and export.
