CPI connects the dots within the innovation ecosystem to make great ideas and inventions a reality. We’re a pioneering deep-tech innovation organisation that accelerates the development, scale-up and commercialisation of advanced manufacturing solutions. As a trusted partner of industry, academia, government, and the investment community, we’re the catalyst that delivers sustainable innovations to benefit people, places, and our planet.
We believe by working together we can build a better collective future, and as part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, we facilitate access to world-class organisations to deliver transformation across industries and landscapes.
We’re developing fossil fuel alternatives and improving battery performance and circularity to reach net zero. We can help companies to improve battery sustainability, performance and longevity. This starts with optimising raw materials, designing for disassembly, reuse and recyclability, and identifying how best to recover the value of these materials when the battery reaches end-of-life.
Using our extensive research expertise and high-tech facilities, we can support the synthetic, lab-based production of alternative raw materials. This is essential in helping UK manufacturers and suppliers start to build a domestic supply chain and overcome the social, environmental and resource scarcity risks currently associated with the extraction and processing of precious metals and minerals. We can also advise on incorporating recycled materials within new batteries.
