About us

Who we are

NCC is an independent, not-for-profit innovation centre – part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult and the University of Bristol ecosystem.

We support companies of all sizes in translating new technologies into industrial application – improving productivity, reducing risk, creating jobs, and anchoring supply chains.

Our work spans the full product and materials lifecycle, from early design through to end-of-life decision-making.

We also provide evidence and insight that informs national policy and regional investment.
