Connected Places Catapult Newsletter- Shape the future of transport with us
30 April 2025
Last month, we launched our bold new strategy, doubling down on our mission to bridge the gap between ground-breaking ideas and real-world impact and cementing our role as the UK’s innovation accelerator for transport, the built environment, cities and local growth.
“By creating a step-change in commercialising research and innovation in sectors and regions with the greatest potential, we are unlocking new markets and driving economic growth."
— Erika Lewis
Chief Executive
Connected Places Catapult
OUR BIG PRIORITIES
TRANSPORT DECARBONISATION
Transport is the UK’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
We are committed to reducing emissions by accelerating the adoption of clean technologies, particularly in harder-to-transition sectors like aviation and maritime.
CREATING EFFICIENT, SAFE AND INCLUSIVE TRANSPORT
Integrated transport systems are essential for thriving communities.
We work to improve end-to-end journeys, making public and shared transport more accessible, efficient, and safe.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
We work with businesses, knowledge partners and public bodies to bridge the gap between discovery and the market so that the opportunities of innovation can be adopted and scaled in communities, towns and cities across the country.
