TWI and Digital Catapult to launch Industrial Net Zero Innovation Centre in Cambridge

Digital Catapult and TWI have partnered to build a new Industrial Net Zero Innovation Centre (INZIC) in Cambridge.

The new hub will help energy-intensive industries such as aerospace, utilities and energy tackle industrial net zero challenges by exploiting advanced digital technologies.

It says the new centre will create new market opportunities for UK tech startups and industrial businesses alike.

Jeremy Silver, CEO of Digital Catapult, said: “By working with TWI in Cambridge, we’re combining deep industry expertise with both of our nationwide networks to help companies more rapidly achieve the ambition of industrial net zero.

"We want the benefits of increased efficiencies and reduced emissions to be felt throughout the UK’s industrial supply chain and advanced digital tech ecosystem.”

Tat-Hean Gan, TWI’s Director of Innovation and Skills, said: "The INZIC will help facilitate the digital transformation of traditional manufacturing processes with the introduction of new technologies and a move to smart manufacturing and factories.”
