Digital Catapult, the deep tech innovation organisation, has announced the opening of a new office for South Gloucestershire, Bristol and Bath, strengthening its long-term commitment to working in partnership across the South West of England and Wales.

To deliver shared economic and skills ambitions, Digital Catapult is primed to deliver in-demand innovation services to local startups and businesses, including technological consultancy, accelerator programmes, and access to Digital Catapult’s network of labs to enable deep tech startups to scale.

Located on the Bristol & Bath Science Park, the new permanent base will strengthen Digital Catapult’s regional presence, building on its place-based approach to innovation that has established successful partnerships with local academic institutions, government authorities, industry leaders, and startups.

This includes delivering the £30million MyWorld programme in collaboration with the University of Bristol, the University of Bath and the University of the West of England (UWE), catalysing nearly £28.3m of investment raised by South West based SMEs, and working with the University of Bristol to accelerate the commercial deployment of future 6G technologies through the REASON and JOINER projects.
