Regional growth intends to share opportunity across the whole of the UK. So everyone, no matter where they live or work, has the chance to flourish and to benefit from success.
Accomplishing this means tackling the geographical inequalities that have become pronounced in the UK since the industrial revolution, and the Catapult Network is playing its part.
In every region of the UK Catapults are spurring positive change, bringing new high-value industry to areas left behind by change, creating jobs, supporting investment and developing skills. Through close collaboration with local and global experts we are helping communities, regions and individuals shape a brighter future for themselves, and for the UK.
Take a look at just a few examples of the way the Catapults are playing a critical role in achieving this important ambition.

Catapults
High Value Manufacturing
Case Study
How can the UK utilise its best industrial manufacturing talent?
High Value Manufacturing Catapult’s vision for UK manufacturing takes into account the lack of available skilled workforce, from research through to industrial exploitation. The Catapult aims to boost the UK’s industrial transformation talent pool by removing barriers to opportunities for upskilling and reskilling in priority areas including digitalisation, electrification, advanced materials and net zero.
Compound Semiconductor Applications
Case Study
We’re facing a global compound semiconductor skills shortage: what now?
The vision of Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult is for the UK to become a global leader in developing and commercialising new applications for compound semiconductors. The Catapult is working with partners to identify skills gaps and future shortages, and to deliver solutions that build a specialised workforce, putting the UK at the forefront of a global compound semiconductor market.
Medicines Discovery
Case Study
Bolstering the North West’s position as a life science powerhouse
Medicines Discovery Catapult is driving regional growth in the North West of England, supporting the region’s fast-growing and increasingly significant life science industry.
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.
Connected Places
Case Study
Creating a new future for Belfast
Belfast has been working hard to create a new future but the region’s productivity gap remains, with Belfast’s productivity standing at 6% below UK levels, and the gap rising to almost 20% for Northern Ireland as a whole.
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.
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.
High Value Manufacturing
Case Study

Digital
Case Study
Digital Catapult and University of Bristol form South West innovation partnership
A partnership between Digital Catapult and the University of Bristol aims to cement the city’s status as one of the most innovative places in the UK.
Digital
Case Study
Enabling testbeds to develop 5G-enabled solutions
Digital Catapult is working with Nottingham Trent University to create a Smart Wireless Innovation Facility (SWIFt) as part of a ‘smart campus’ project.
