<p>As was announced at Budget 2018, the Digital Catapult will test the potential of
their Field Labs concept, a small experimental trial of Distributed Ledger Technology,
working with businesses, investors, and regulators, in a range of areas. We anticipate
the first Field Labs will focus on the construction sector and the management of goods
in ports.</p><p>The Digital Catapult, while receiving significant long-term funding
from the government, is an independent private sector entity. The specific arrangements
of the Field Labs, including their participants, focuses, and timing, are therefore
a commercial and private decision for the management of the Digital Catapult to take,
and we expect it to set out further details in due course.</p>
