Digital Catapult

We are Future Cities Catapult. Our mission is to advance urban innovation, to grow UK companies, to make cities better. We bring together businesses, universities and city leaders so that they can work with each other to solve the problems that cities face. From our Urban Innovation Centre in London, we provide world-class facilities and expertise to support the development of new products and services, as well as opportunities to collaborate with others, test ideas and develop business models. We help innovators turn ingenious ideas into working prototypes that can be tested in real urban settings. Then, once they are proven, we help spread them to cities around the world to improve quality of life, strengthen economies and protect the environment. Our Cities data analysis, modelling and visualisation capabilities to understand and elucidate city problems, while on-the-ground collaborators in our network of collaborating cities provide excellent opportunities for testing new approaches in situ. Combined, they can help us to bring our ideas to bear on the biggest urban environments, as well as opportunities to collaborate with others, test ideas and develop business models.
