HVM Catapult annual review shows growing demand for its centres

The annual review for the High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult shows the breadth of activity through which the team and its centres have worked to drive up UK manufacturing performance in 2017/18.

Industrial demand for the HVM Catapult’s capability continues to rise year-on-year. 2017/18 saw a 23% growth in commercial and project revenues, demonstrating continuing and growing appetite for its offering, which is helping large and small businesses across the UK improve their competitiveness and attracting new investment to the UK.

The Catapult network was established by Innovate UK to bridge the gap between business and academia, helping to turn great ideas into reality by providing access to world-class research and development facilities and expertise that would otherwise be out of reach for many businesses in the UK.

The HVM Catapult aims to help the growth and success of UK advanced manufacturing. Its seven centres offer access to world-class equipment, expertise and collaborative opportunities. The organisation works with manufacturing businesses of all sizes and from all sectors.
