Helping UK construction businesses scale proven capabilities and grow.
The UK has a major programme of infrastructure investment ahead. Across water, energy, transport and the wider built environment, clients need to improve productivity, safety and resilience, cut carbon and get better value from investment.
UK construction businesses have many of the technologies, products and delivery capabilities that can help solve these challenges. The hard part is getting good ideas into use: proving them in real delivery environments, building confidence among buyers and creating a route from one successful project to wider adoption.
Connected Places Catapult helps make that happen.
We bring construction businesses together with infrastructure clients, delivery partners, government and investors around real market needs. We help test and demonstrate new approaches, build the evidence needed for adoption and create routes into UK and international markets.
