About us

Connected Places Catapult is an innovation agency for cities, transport and place leadership. It is one of several Catapults set up by Innovate UK in the United Kingdom. Catapult centres promote R&D and innovation through business-led collaboration between scientists, academics, engineers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders and Government. They receive grants from public funds but are also expected to seek commercial funding.

Flexible working at Connected Places Catapult

Colleagues will be asked to come into the office a few days a week based on our hybrid working team framework: 

  • Colleague connector – a minimum of two days a week in the office. You can do more than two days if preferable   
  • Workplace enabler – five days a week in the office 
  • Business needs change and colleagues may need to attend the office more frequently/in varied patterns. This means you may be required to flex to increase in person collaborations when needed e.g., transition for new joiners, change of role, development needs and project need etc. 

    Approach to diversity & inclusion

    Our purpose is to connect people, places and businesses to a future of sustainable growth and prosperity.  We deliver this by connecting markets, sparking innovative technology, and accelerating commercialisation.

    EDI is a strategic focus for CPC with inclusive innovation central to our approach. By actively seeking diverse perspectives and participation in the design, delivery, and diffusion of innovation we can foster a more equitable innovation ecosystem that leads to economic growth and equitable distribution of benefits and impact across all communities.
