Digital Catapult

The Digital Catapult is the British government innovation agency for the digital and software industry, developed in conjunction with Innovate UK (former Technology Strategy Board).

History

Chief executives

Neil Crockett January 2013 to June 2016 Jeremy Silver – June 2016

Function

The organisation is there to coordinate knowledge transfer from British universities and to help computing startup companies; it acts in a similar way to a business incubator. Fields of research that the organisation is there to work with include artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, immersive technology and the Internet of things.

Structure

It is situated in the London Borough of Camden, on the corner of the A501 (London Inner Ring Road) and Mabledon Place, directly north of the headquarters of the National Education Union (former NUT). The Chairman is Andy Green, former chief executive from 2008 to 2012 of Logica.

Digital Catapult NETV

Digital Catapult NETV[1] is in North East England, and runs the NETV Immersive Lab[2] at PROTO[3] in Gateshead.

Digital Catapult Northern Ireland

Digital Catapult Northern Ireland[4] is in the Ormeau Baths Gallery in Belfast.

gollark: I see.

gollark: And the Odroid N2 has a fairly capable repurposed TV-box SoC.

gollark: The RockPro64 even has a PCIe slot.

gollark: You can just get an AArch64 computer of some kind, though? There are fairly usable and affordable ones.

gollark: Or a 160-core dual-socket ARM server.
