Innovate UK has established a network of 10 Catapult Centres covering a broad range of markets and technologies and Government investment will be around £557 million by 2015/16 but the future allocation between the individual catapults has not yet been finalised\u201d. The Catapults are:<\/p>
High Value Manufacturing Catapult \u2013 seven individual centres working together to bring their expertise in different and complementary areas of high value manufacturing to provide an integrated capability and embraces all forms of manufacture using metals and composites, in addition to process manufacturing technologies and bio-processing.<\/p>
Cell Therapy Catapult \u2013 working to grow a viable and sustainable cell therapy industry in the UK.<\/p>
Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult \u2013 focused on development of commercially viable technologies applicable to offshore wind, wave and tidal power.<\/p>
Satellite Applications Catapult \u2013 helping UK businesses to develop new satellite-based products and services.<\/p>
Digital Catapult \u2013 working to position UK business to lead the introduction of radically new applications and experiences across the increasing breadth of internet services.<\/p>
Future Cities Catapult \u2013 helping to make cities to become smarter and more forward thinking.<\/p>
Transport Systems Catapult \u2013 supporting UK industry in exploiting the massive global market for new products and services that will drive the integration of transport and its systems and help UK businesses to develop effective and sustainable solutions to transport needs for both freight and people.<\/p>
Energy Systems Catapult \u2013 working to deliver economic value to Britain by making the transformation of the UK\u2019s energy systems sector attractive to companies that are developing and growing new technology-based products and services by creating a critical mass of world class independent engineering and social science expertise in energy systems<\/p>
Precision Medicine Catapult \u2013 working to simplify and accelerate precision medicine product development and implementation, building the necessary partnerships between different therapeutic, diagnostic and informatics players in the sector, supporting existing and new companies and attracting inward investment by global life science companies<\/p>
Medicines Technologies Catapult \u2013 still being established, but will work on the development of new technologies that better predict the response of humans, animals and environment to chemicals (for example prescription drugs, pesticides and cosmetics).<\/p>

This Government is committed to the Catapult network and has prioritised core funding support for the network in the recent Spending Review. It has already expanded the network by announcing, in July, that a Medicines Technologies Catapult would be established and developed at Alderley Park in Cheshire.<\/p>
Innovate UK will be publishing its revised Strategy for 2016-20 in the spring and this will set out plans for evaluation of the Catapult network.<\/p>

We have established an agreed set of key performance indicators to monitor the success of the Catapult network against its primary aim of supporting innovation by UK business, and these include funding; commercial income; business clients; SME engagements; academic collaborations; and new businesses created.<\/p>
