Join us on Tuesday 30th November when Dr Pete James, Director and Technical Specialist, and Marisa Kurimbokus, Senior Mechanical Engineer from Lyra Electronics will show you how collaboration on technical projects works in real life, with reference to a current project, @FutureBEV. Pete and Marisa will focus on Lyra Electronics’ contribution to making electric cars a reality for everyone and how this is a team effort. 30 NOV 2021 SATELLITE APPLICATIONS December Satuccino Satuccino is back as a hybrid event, inviting attendees to join us in person at Harwell and virtually online. Join us on Wednesday 1st December as our industry-leading Satuccino networking event! Hosted by the Satellite Applications Catapult in Harwell and dedicated to the space sector, the event will be an opportunity to find out the latest industry news, funding opportunities and business pitches from across the industry. As usual, there will also be the chance to spend some time after the event networking or simply catching up with friends and colleagues. 01 DEC 2021 CELL AND GENE THERAPY The Annual Life Sciences Conference Will Covid19 turn out to be the mother of long-lasting Innovation? Can these achievements be translated into processes and infrastructure for the future of healthcare? Can we continue the partnership across Industry, Academia and Government to get on the front foot for the next healthcare and societal challenges? Can we realise the untapped power of Scottish healthcare data and the potential of digital technologies for the benefit of the people and the planet? And what skills do we need to be investing in now to realise this potential? 02 DEC 2021 ENERGY SYSTEMS Energy Launchpad International Mexico and South Africa Briefing Event (SME Challenge Call) Building on the success of the Energy Launchpad International pilot (2020-2021) in Thailand and India, Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) is launching a challenge call to South Africa and Mexico to support up to eight new innovators to enter each market. This project works closely with innovators to build their capacity to export. Whilst the UK ranks high globally for innovation, this is not matched by export success. Innovators often lack the resources to create full export strategies, and our research shows the two most common things they lack are in-country contacts and market understanding. 02 DEC 2021 CONNECTED PLACES Getting to Net Zero locally – practical tools for local authorities With the world’s attention on the UK because of COP26, many local authorities are considering how to best react to the climate crisis and support the transition to a zero-emissions economy – often by challenging target dates. Connected Places Catapult have worked with partners and in close consultation with a range of local authorities to develop a strategic tool to help think through the interventions and changes which need to happen, who should be involved and how to make the political and economic case for execution. Having benefited from feedback from local authorities who have used the beta version, we have worked with OnePlanet to make it available online and integrated with their platform. 06 DEC 2021 OFFSHORE RENEWABLE ENERGY Robotics and AI: what’s next for offshore energy? This comprehensive event is jointly organised by the UK’s three leading innovation and research centres for offshore energy in the UK: Net Zero Technology Centre, Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and the ORCA Hub. In under two hours, you’ll get to meet leading robotics innovation experts and six of the most exciting companies in offshore energy. How can innovations from the oil and gas sector be turned to the renewables sector? Where lie the next frontiers for robotics developers? And how do we bridge the gap between an exciting concept and real-world deployment? 07 DEC 2021 HIGH VALUE MANUFACTURING Taking your manufacturing digital – From timesheet to tablet AMRC North West, based in central Lancashire, is a world-class centre for advanced manufacturing research and innovation, and is part of the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). We help the region’s manufacturers grow and prosper by de-risking and developing industry-transforming technology solutions to improve productivity, customer experience and drive profit. If you are a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), make sure you join us at our new research centre in Samlesbury for a fully-funded workshop to learn how your manufacturing business can access and benefit from the adoption of industrial digital technologies. 08 DEC 2021 CONNECTED PLACES Innovate at HS2 Accelerator: Net Zero & Safety Demo Day HS2 is the new high-speed railway linking London, the Midlands, the North and Scotland – serving over 25 stations, including eight of Britain’s largest cities and connecting around 30 million people. The Innovate at HS2 Accelerator aims to create a legacy within infrastructure by identifying disruptive, scalable technologies which drive innovation during the design and build of the railway, to improve efficiency and productivity, reduce carbon footprint, exceed safety standards, foster biodiversity, and digitally transform ways of working. 09 DEC 2021 HIGH VALUE MANUFACTURING Sustainable Manufacturing Insights In the run up to COP26, WMG and the High Value Manufacturing Catapult are partnering with NatWest to provide insights into sustainable manufacturing. This webinar series is aimed at the UK manufacturing sector and those interested in adopting sustainable business practices. There will be the opportunity to interact with like-minded organisations, share best practice and discuss the opportunities for UK manufacturing. 31 DEC 2021 COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR APPLICATIONS India-UK Future Telecoms Date(s) – 12/10/2021 – 11/01/2022. We are delighted to invite you to join our India-UK Telecom Programme, exploring opportunities for companies and universities to collaborate on joint research and innovation projects to meet the requirements for future telecom networks. Supported by UKRI India, CSA Catapult has partnered with Unconventional Connections (UK) and Finovista (India) to create this India-UK Partnership Programme consisting of 4 phases that run from September 2021 to March 2022. The India-UK Future Telecom Programme was officially launched in India by the UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss MP, the UK DCMS Minister for Media, Data and Digital Infrastructure Julia Lopez MP and Sanjeev K Varshney, Head of International Cooperation at the Department for Science and Technology (India). 11 JAN 2022 ENERGY SYSTEMS Australia-UK Clean Technology Partnership Workshops Australia and the UK entered into a Clean Technology Partnership on 29 July 2021 to cooperate on low emissions solutions to make low emissions technologies globally scalable and commercially viable, to support global emissions reductions and enable clean growth. Under the partnership, Australia and the UK have committed to develop a joint industry emissions reduction challenge. A joint industrial sector challenge will aim to reduce emissions and increase energy affordability and competitiveness, while ensuring energy reliability. It will also aim to create new economic and collaboration opportunities between Australian and UK industry. Our governments want to hear from industry how the challenge could support pilot, demonstration and pre‑commercial projects to drive innovation in low emissions technologies, backed by private sector investment. We are planning two areas for a joint challenge which would contribute towards industrial decarbonisation: clean energy for industry; and clean hydrogen supply chains. 02 FEB 2022 Connect with us Terms and Conditions Privacy Policy Contact © 2021 Catapult Network.
