Annual Engagement & Impact Report 2020
Enabling manufacturing industries to recognise the value of advanced digital technologies for solving today’s challenges and capitalising on tomorrow’s opportunities.
We’re the only innovation organisation with a specific remit for the creative industries on behalf of the UK government, boosting the potential of the UK’s creative sector by unlocking the transformative potential of advanced digital technologies.
Digital Catapult helps trailblazer companies to develop and demonstrate innovative and successful advanced digital technology products, services, experiences and business models for UK industry to emulate. We focus on ambitious programmes in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, future networks including 5G and the internet of things (IoT), immersive technologies (virtual, augmented and mixed reality, and haptics) and distributed systems including distributed ledger technologies (DLT).
Digital Catapult’s national network works with partners across the UK, with centres in London, North East Tees Valley, Northern Ireland, MediaCity and Brighton to provide localised and tailored services where they are needed
Digital Catapult drives regional and national economic growth. Each of our centres has a specific focus that responds to the needs of the local market: manufacturing in the north of England, immersive in Northern Ireland, and 5G and the creative industries in London and Brighton. Digital Catapult’s growing multi-stakeholder network drives local technology innovation, while empowering local stakeholders to reach national and international markets and resources.
