Energy Systems
Case Study
Disabled households to take part in zero carbon energy innovation trials for the first time
Energy Systems Catapult’s partnership with the Research Institute for Disabled Consumers (RiDC) will collaborate on a programme to enable inclusive innovation and sustainable choice.
Energy Systems
Case Study
Tackling the lack of diversity in the energy sector
Energy Systems Catapult was established in 2015 and from the very beginning a core part of its mission has not only been to transform the energy system but to also challenge how things are done, including the lack of diversity.
Medicines Discovery
Case Study
Highlighting the role of women in science and innovation
By championing innovative life science technology and new approaches, Medicines Discovery Catapult is supporting UK innovators to succeed. Medicines Discovery Catapult recognises that diversity in the workforce underpins the creative and innovative thinking essential for success in this sector.
Connected Places
Case Study
The importance of allyship in supporting workplace wellbeing
Allyship is about creating an inclusive culture at Connected Places Catapult. By creating a safe, open environment where people feel able to talk about their experiences, Connected Places Catapult encourages every employee to take individual responsibility for considering the wellbeing of their colleagues.
Compound Semiconductor Applications
Case Study
Building the next generation of thermal characterisation technologies
University of Bristol and Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult form their first commercial agreement to develop a technology to measure the thermal properties of semiconductor wafers.
High Value Manufacturing
Case Study
Unstickable glue will revolutionise the use of composites
Technology Pull-Through (TPT) Programme aims to transfer suitable mature technologies from academia to industry
Cell and Gene Therapy
Case Study
Advancing acute myeloid leukaemia cell therapy
A collaboration between the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult, University College London and Imperial College London advances a novel cell therapy for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia.
Cell and Gene Therapy
Case Study
Developing treatments for chronic kidney disease
University spin-out Purespring Therapeutics sought expert input from the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult to efficiently progress their pre-clinical development plans and secured one of the largest single investment to a UK biotech company from global healthcare giant Syncona.
Medicines Discovery
Case Study
International biobank provides database for cancer researchers worldwide
Medicines Discovery Catapult collaborated with Manchester University to create a sustainable model for a biorepository providing a critical data for researchers investigating patient side-effects from radiotherapy.
Medicines Discovery
Case Study
Innovative treatments for a longer healthy, independent life
Figures show that we are spending more of our lives in poor health. In response, a national network is bringing together scientific expertise from across the UK to shed new light on the ageing process and help us stay healthy for longer.
Offshore Renewable Energy
Case Study
Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult and Durham University reduce the duration and costs of wind turbine blade testing
Working in collaboration with Durham University, the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult’s blade experts developed a bi-axial testing method to address the challenge of reducing the duration and costs of blade testing, while making it more representative of real-world operating conditions.
Offshore Renewable Energy
Case Study
Aligning Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult and UK academic expertise to support the needs of the offshore renewables industry
The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult has established three Research Hubs that form part of their academic engagement plan and connect the Catapult’s assets (both test facilities and researchers) with academia.
Connected Places
Case Study
Securing the future of drone services
Connected Places Catapult is partnering with IoT security start-up, ANGOKA and Cranfield University to protect drone communications in the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Authentication System project.
Energy Systems
Case Study
Efficiency and productivity in construction
Energy Systems Catapult assesses the performance of a new platform for the efficient and economical construction of homes to meet Government’s net zero targets and to tackle housing shortages.
