Black Founders Programme
The Black Founders Programme is an accelerator targeted at pre-seed or seed stage, Black-founded companies creating innovative products and services...
From large scale, connected digital twins, robotics and autonomous systems and the metaverse, ‘Cyber Physical Systems’ will help us to respond to today’s most pressing environmental, social and economic challenges. However, creating a robust cyber physical infrastructure to support these systems is a challenge.
Digital Catapult has been working with leaders in the field – from government policymakers to corporates and startups – to explore how we can develop cyber physical infrastructure – the building blocks of cyber physical systems – in a way that focuses on interoperability, openness, security and end user needs. Part of this involves developing a ‘systems thinking’ approach that considers how different technologies converge.
Benefits
Our work around cyber physical infrastructure:
- Accelerates the development of cyber physical systems, which will help tackle industrial net zero challenges, unleash new commercial opportunities for businesses and support new consumer experiences
- Facilitates crucial conversations amongst key players in the ecosystem around issues such as security, interoperability, regulatory aspects and standards
- Paves the way for safe and responsible development of cyber physical systems that are developed collaboratively, and considers the new business models required to get us there
- Considers the tools and environments for innovators to rapidly prototype, test and develop ideas for cyber physical systems
