The world is facing one of the most challenging times in history, with a rapidly growing population and ever greater impacts from climate change, disasters and increasing demand for food and energy. New approaches are needed to sustainably and successfully overcome these challenges; leveraging the power of technology is a key part of this journey.

The Catapult has a key role to play, facilitating collaboration between key players and creating long-lasting partnerships, to enable new environments for sustainable growth and development.
