2. A national centre to rapidly
advance the UK’s best digital
ideas – both Creative and ICT
Completely neutral
…but “can do”
Not for profit, private
limited company
Digital Catapult: Who are we?

3. Our mission
We are NOT a funder, incubator or
accelerator
Our aim is to work with these
organisations, not duplicate
To unlock proprietary data in
faster, better and more trusted ways

4. Why Proprietary Data?
90%
If data is the new oil, then personal and
closed data is the new rocket fuel
of data is closed
or personal

5. Our focus is on the Data Value Chain
Building platform enablers – for new ideas

6. Engage end-
users
Unlock closed
data
Follow product
life-cycle,
customer
experience
Experiment and
test

Industry 4.0: Catapult value
Open Innovation (Co-creation WS and Pit-stops)
- Identify the problem/work the solution
- Develop the ecosystem
Understand the value of existing data
(Data Catalyser)
- From your domain
- Mixing within different domains
Trust Framework Initiative
- How the product is liked by customer?
- What personal information can be fed back to
the supply chain
Connect products and
factories
- 5G testbeds and
demonstrators

7. Pit Stops
Highly focused open innovation activity designed to
accelerate the growth of new ideas
It brings together large companies, experts and small high
calibre, disruptive innovators in a secure
and creative environment (2/3 days)
Co-creation workshops
Bring together relevant stakeholders to identify
problems, better scope them, design solutions
Open Innovation

8. • Digital Catapult and sponsors:
• Define objectives
• Identified required skills
• Digital catapult:
• Leverage its network of innovators to recruit desired participants (SMEs, scale ups, individual innovators,
academic experts, in-house experts)
• The format:
• 10 to 15 innovators, 6 to 8 sponsor staff, 6 to 8 subject matters experts, 1 moderator
• Presentations, breakout sessions and co-creation workshops
• The benefit:
• For partners: develop and test new ideas; speed up open innovation with external resources
• For participants: test and validate new ideas; reach new markets

• The problem (Nissan Social Media Challenge):
• Monitor sentiment and identify trends and issues with Nissan luxury ‘Infiniti’ brand
• The challenge:
• Mix closed organisational Quality Assurance data
• Closed Sales data owned by third party
• Social media data
• The goal:
• Predict churn
• Optimize supply chain
• How
• Open Innovation through Hackathon (December 2nd, Digital Catapult NETV)
Data Catalyser: An example

12. Vertical = Limited use cases e.g fraud
Horizontal = Many use cases
• Better understanding of individual
emotions combining economic
situation, health and wellness data
• More detailed anonymous personas
can be created combining spending
habits, locations, etc
• As results:
• Supply chain can adapt
• Production adaptively
increased, decreased or
adjusted
Personal Data: The value

13. Building Trust:
Removing Friction: Need to solve three sources of friction:
Technical: How to define and physically transfer the data
Legal: How to establish the users identity and assert
permission within each siloed system
Commercial: How to agree the price of access/transfer
Need to empower the customer:
Ethics: Recognise & respect the consumer’s wishes
Control: Give tools/dashboards to enable real control
Compliance: Verify orgs are sticking to the rules
Communication: Kitemark for those in the ethical sharing club
Breaking down the barriers

5G: Innovation through testbeds
• 5G Innovation Centre and Innovation Gateway
• 5GIC is delivering advanced 5G testbed, including
improved IoT/M2M service support and device
management
• Open for collaboration, and has a strong SME Engagement
focus.
• Digital catapult
• Leverage its network of innovators to recruit desired participants
(SMEs, scale ups, individual innovators, academic experts)
• Digital economy is all about
moving and using data
• Need to connect connectivity
infrastructure vision with digital
economy innovation
• Support for IoT, including
Factories-of-the-Future, is a
crucial driver for 5G design
vision and proposals.

20. IoTUK Programme
How we are executing?
21
2

3
Link research activities with the needs of users and
potential customers
1
Connect SMEs with business and public sector
demand
Identify, develop, disseminate and encourage use of
best practice
Cities fast start to demonstrate the value of IoT and
help drive demand
5 Community building, promotion and dissemination

21. Use case pilots
Value with Policy
• Validated attributes in personal store
• Automate DWP benefit calculation
• Benefit issued as GovCoin
• Expenditure aligned to policy
Anonymous marketing
• Enable the individual to create
anonymous persona
• Use persona to target more relevant
services to individual
Health and social care
• Inefficient due to lack of co-
ordination between agencies
• Additional complexity of personal
care budgets
• All agencies give data to patient
• Patient controls sharing
Portable KYC
• Portable digital ID (Verify/bank KYC)
• To be used at any bank for opening
and transferring accounts
• Future applicability to other sectors,
taking out mobile phone contract etc

22. Secure platform
• Certificate based security
• Fully audited and monitored
• Business Impact Level 3 equivalent
Our Solution: Data Catalyser
State-of-the-art analytics
• Secure cloud-based system, R
• Analysis by trusted innovators
Legal framework & best practices
• Complete contract set
• Industry wide best practices
• Intellectual Property sharing templates
Proven delivery capability
• Active Project Management
• Access to world class data scientists
The Data Catalyser is a suite of services enabling organisations to create value
from mixing closed datasets

• The problem:
• Understand how funding money are locally distributed
• The challenge:
• Access multiple closed data set (held by each organization redistributing the funding)
• Make them coherent and mix them in a safe environment
• Need to define common language and identifiers (time, geography, sector)
• Extract knowledge and insights
• The goal:
• Identify gaps and overlap
• Distribute funding more evenly
