NCC is an independent, not-for-profit innovation centre. Part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult and the University of Bristol ecosystem. We are a world-leading innovation organisation that turns cutting edge research and technology into industrial impact.
We bridge the gap between academia and industry, helping companies of all sizes to capitalise on cutting-edge innovations to deliver more by translating new technologies into industrial application – improving productivity, reducing risk, creating jobs, and anchoring supply chains. We do this at every stage of their journey and across the entire product lifecycle, from the earliest concept to end-of-life.
We also provide evidence and insight to inform policy and investment decisions, nationally and regionally.
