Energy Systems Nexus is an industry-funded, industry-led Net Zero collaboration initiative that takes a whole systems approach to delivering robust evidence and cutting-edge analysis for the energy sector.
The Nexus brings together industry professionals, world leading experts, and key organisations to accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy while sharing cost, risk, and learnings.
The Nexus provides the link between analysis and action by supporting decision makers across the energy sector through whole system research and development to maximise opportunities and address challenges that could delay us getting to Net Zero.
Energy Systems Catapult is an independent research and technology organisation. Our mission is to accelerate Net Zero energy innovation.
Launched in 2015 by Innovate UK, the Catapult has built a team of more than 300 people, with a range of technical, engineering, consumer, commercial, incubation, digital, and policy expertise. They draw on sector-leading test facilities, modelling tools, and data collected from our back catalogue of more than 500 research projects.
We use that ‘whole energy’ system capability to support innovative companies -- small and large – to test, trial and scale their new products and services. Our impact comes when those innovators attract new customers, new investment, and new grants so they can thrive in the future energy system.
Based in Birmingham, Energy Systems Catapult is part of a network of nine world-leading technology and innovation centres, established by Innovate UK. The Catapult Network fosters collaboration between industry, government, research organisations, academia, and many others to transform great ideas into valuable products and services.
