Participants spent time with peers facing similar challenges to their own, with the objective of becoming more aligned around economic and investment strategies for their areas – and becoming empowered to implement them.
Through a series of immersive regional gatherings, the cohort benefitted from:
“Through IPLA I have really gained a deeper understanding of my personal agency and grown in personal resilience and mindset to navigate change.”Louise Smith, Director – Aura Innovation Centre, University of Hull
“It was so reassuring to hear that others are grappling with similar challenges and discovering different approaches to common problems. I found the masterclasses first rate and would highly recommend the programme to other place leaders.”Derek Shaw, Director of Innovation and Place, Scottish Enterprise
“I appreciated the insights and knowledge from others on the programme; I realised that many of the opportunities and challenges are the same. The opportunity to share experiences, discuss issues and challenges and get input from other place leaders was invaluable.”Jane Lamer, Head of Economic Development and Skills, Portsmouth City Council

About the Programme
The UK design industry is a powerhouse. But our innovative small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often don’t benefit from its expertise.
By providing funding and design expertise for SMEs tackling big challenges, Design to Deliver aims to support the development of better products and services.
Design to Deliver is a collaboration between three Catapult centres: Connected Places Catapult, Digital Catapult and Satellite Applications Catapult – funded by Innovate UK. Each Catapult has set a challenge in their respective industries, linked by the theme of regenerating nature.
Four SME-led projects will be selected per challenge, with each SME receiving an initial £50,000 to develop their solution alongside a proposed trial plan. In addition to funding, each project will also receive support from a specialised design consultancy, the respective Catapults’ technical team and a location partner.
Theme & Challenges
Unlocking human behaviours to regenerate nature through leveraging accessible, accurate and actionable information.
Unlocking human behaviours to regenerate nature through leveraging accessible, accurate and actionable information.
This year’s Design to Deliver challenges are centred on the theme of regenerating nature. The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. To address this, we must design products and services that reconnect people with nature and support data-driven
decision making.
Each Catapult has set a challenge that relates to regenerating nature, within their respective industries.
How might we use information to contribute to the successful implementation, stewardship, and maintenance of wild urban places?
How can you develop a solution leveraging existing data, to help citizens be better informed to make nature-conscious decisions?
How can you translate space-enabled data and services into information that is trusted and actionable, fuelling responsible behaviours towards nature?
Dyma’r rhaglen Sbarduno Datgarboneiddio Trafnidiaeth gydag Awdurdodau Lleol, i gefnogi busnesau bach a chanolig ac ardaloedd lleol i ddiwallu’r cyfleoedd a’r heriau a ddaw yn sgil ymrwymiadau sero net sy’n seiliedig ar leoedd. Connected Places Catapult sy’n gyfrifol am y rhaglen a hynny rhwng mis Medi 2024 a mis Mawrth 2025, ac mae’n cael ei rhedeg ar y cyd â’r Awdurdodau Lleol a’r Corff Trafnidiaeth Is-genedlaethol canlynol:
Mae’r pedwar partner wedi datblygu her benodol sy’n seiliedig ar leoedd. Gyda chefnogaeth Connected Places Catapult, bydd hyd at 2 fusnes bach a chanolig yn cael eu dewis i weithio ar y cyd â phob partner, a chael dealltwriaeth feirniadol a fydd yn eu galluogi i fireinio eu hatebion i fynd i’r afael â’r heriau a gynigiwyd sy’n seiliedig ar leoedd. Bydd busnesau bach a chanolig yn cael eu dewis ar sail pa mor gryf yw eu hatebion i’r heriau dan sylw, ac nid o reidrwydd pa mor agos yn ddaearyddol ydyn nhw at y partner.
Ar ôl asesu anghenion masnachol unigol y busnesau bach a chanolig, bydd Connected Places Catapult yn llunio rhaglen bwrpasol o gymorth masnachol sy’n canolbwyntio ar integreiddio yn y sector cyhoeddus. Gall hyn gynnwys y canlynol:
Mae heriau’r rhaglen sbarduno a’r meini prawf cymhwysedd i’w gweld isod.
Bydd Connected Places Catapult yn cynnal Gweminar Cymorth i Wneud Cais ar 21 Awst, rhwng 2 a 3pm. Bydd y digwyddiad hwn yn rhoi cyfle i ymgeiswyr gael rhagor o wybodaeth am yr hyn mae’r rhaglen yn ei gynnig, yr heriau, y broses ymgeisio, y meini prawf sgorio, a’r broses asesu. Hefyd, bydd sesiwn fyw o holi ac ateb ar gyfer darpar ymgeiswyr i ofyn unrhyw gwestiynau pellach neu i wirio a ydyn nhw’n gymwys.
Mae manylion yr heriau a’r dogfennau ategol ar gael
Er mwyn bod yn gymwys, rhaid i ymgeiswyr:
