2 The High Value Manufacturing Catapult is a partnership between industry and government, which is a catalyst for the future growth and success of manufacturing in the UK. Its long-term goal is to stimulate growth in the manufacturing sector and grow the sector s contribution to UK GDP to a level more commensurate with that of competitor economies. It does this by helping businesses accelerate new concepts (often started in research institutions) to commercial reality (where they can be funded through market sources). In doing so, the Catapult reduces companies risk in innovation, and it enables the UK to address market needs in key areas, making the country more competitive on the global stage. The High Value Manufacturing Catapult combines the strengths of seven UK technology and innovation centres, each focusing on major underpinning manufacturing technologies. The Catapult brings these centres together to develop cross sector manufacturing capabilities, which can span from raw materials to finished processes. It also enables innovation to cut across sectors by bringing together businesses from diverse industries and giving them access to a pool of world-class expertise, equipment and processes invested and supported by UK government.

3 The Centre for Process Innovation From innovation to commercialisation The Centre for Process Innovation is the UK s national technology and innovation centre to serve and support the process manufacturing industries. We are chosen by key industry leaders and SMEs to develop, prove, prototype and scale up the next generation of products and processes. We work across a range of technology platforms, each of which have the potential to generate a substantial impact on the future of manufacturing. We provide product and process development facilities and expertise in industrial biotechnology and biorefining, formulation and flexible manufacturing, printable electronics and biologics with the overall aim of creating less waste, cleaner, more efficient and more economic products and processes. Our open innovation model enables our clients to develop products and prove processes with minimal risk. We provide assets and expertise so our customers can demonstrate the process and prove it is feasible before investing substantial amounts of money in capital equipment and training. New products and processes can be proven; on paper, in the lab and in the plant before being manufactured at an industrial scale. By utilising our proven assets and expertise companies can take their products and processes to market faster. There is no down time in production as all of the process development is completed off-line. Better Products, Faster We help our clients to produce better products with increased quality and performance. We can create processes with higher yields and reduced manufacturing time with faster conversion of raw materials or feedstock to product. Low Cost, Low Waste Manufacturing We enable companies to decrease capital and manufacturing costs by facilitating batch to continuous processes, increased automation and reduced manufacturing time. We help reduce and reuse wastes, utilise natural materials and decrease reliance on fossil fuels.

4 Our Services What we offer CPI s experienced team will help guide you from concept to finished product.

CPI offers proof of concept programmes resulting in small scale production, along with economic assessment and scale up packages. Our technology transfer teams can assist in transferring new technologies and processes into existing or new manufacturing plants. Feedstock and Materials Investigation CPI can assess feedstock and materials to see how they can be utilised to create new products. We can also perform the upfront engineering to have a handle on final operational costs and through the use of life cycle assessments we can confirm the benefits of using these new materials. CPI has the resources to confirm the volumes and amounts of material globally available for use and assess the long term security of that supply. CPI can provide analysis of: Security of supply Closed loop systems Alternative feedstock Novel process technologies Use of by/co products Supply chain assessment

7 Manufacturability, Process Modelling and Simulation Using state of the art tools and techniques, our experienced engineers will provide quantitative estimates of your product or process costs. We identify scale-up issues very early using your experimental data, and can suggest alternatives which may change the direction of fundamental research programmes. We estimate economic viability and calculate if yield improvements from process improvements and optimisation are likely. This makes the money you spend on R&D work harder, and helps you and your investors commercialise your process and realise returns faster. CPI has extensive knowledge and experience in strategic assessment and vision of future product and process technologies. We can help to guide your development programmes into a long term strategic direction keeping you ahead of the competition and secure strong IP positions. Economic Evaluation, Life Cycle Analysis and Process Economics Getting the business case correct can be the most challenging part of beginning any new project. Our team is here to assist you in evaluating the techno-economics of a programme, from the identification of a costeffective starting material, to the most efficient process route, cost of operation and an estimate of capital expenditure required. Life cycle analysis can be carried out to determine the environmental impact throughout the lifetime of a product; from starting raw material, right through to eventual disposal and recycling. A life cycle analysis provides a valuable input into process design optimisation, help you to reduce costs and support your business strategy effectively.

8 Identification and Engagement of Key Collaborators With an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the current UK political and technological landscape, CPI is well placed to identify and approach key collaborators or help secure a place within a consortium to work on innovative projects.
