About the Catalyst

The Tech Catalyst is designed for key stakeholders around Morecambe Bay, interested in connecting with academic expertise and like-minded peers to address sectoral and place-based challenges and growth opportunities.

Lancaster University are bringing together tech businesses around Morecambe Bay who are actively seeking to innovate. Recognizing the external challenges such as global markets, complex supply chains, carbon reduction imperatives, security risks, skills gaps, and staff retention, these businesses are pivotal to the local economy but have untapped potential to increase productivity and growth.

By creating the space to innovate and collaborate, this fully funded incentive brings together a number of local stakeholders plus industry and academic experts. Over four days we will facilitate a series of investigative and action-focused workshops to collectively explore innovations for a range of aspects such as processes, technologies, data utilization, and market expansion. By fostering collaboration, our aim is to catalyse system-wide changes, enhancing the competitiveness and overall success of the tech sector in the region.
