Digital Catapult: Who are we?

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

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

Our focus is on the Data Value Chain

Building platform enablers – for new ideas

7

Engage end-users

Unlock closed data

Follow product life-cycle, customer

experience

Experiment and test

Industry 4.0: Catapult valueOpen 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

Pit StopsHighly focused open innovation activity designed to accelerate the growth of new ideasIt 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

9

• 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

Our Solution: The Data Catalyser

12

• 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

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

Building Trust:

Removing Friction:

Need to solve three sources of friction:Technical: How to define and physically transfer the dataLegal: How to establish the users identity and assert permission within each siloed systemCommercial: How to agree the price of access/transfer

Need to empower the customer:Ethics: Recognise & respect the consumer’s wishesControl: Give tools/dashboards to enable real controlCompliance: Verify orgs are sticking to the rulesCommunication: Kitemark for those in the ethical sharing club

185G: 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.

Use case pilotsValue 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

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 templatesProven 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

24

• 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

Data Catalyser: An example

25Pit-stops: Crossrail example• The project

• Crossrail Limited is delivering a new railway for London and the South East• More than 10,000 people are working at over 40 construction sites to help deliver the project• Sensors have been deployed on a limited scale but there may be greater scope in next phases

• The Open Innovation opportunity with Sensor Systems• SMEs working with innovative sensors and data analytics in

• Construction industry• Or related ones

• Participants (20)• Asset mapping• Interoperability• Energy harvesting• Predictive analysis
