Join us on our next MBE Industrial User Group session, where we’ll be diving into the latest progress from the IMPACT programme.
Each HVM Catapult centre will share a short, honest look at their IMPACT journey so far — what they delivered, what worked well, what didn’t, and the key lessons they’ve taken away. It’s a great chance to hear real experiences from across the network.
We’ll bring these together into an HVM Catapult summary of the programme and where it’s taking us.
The session will also include a collaborative workshop to help shape what we do next: future priorities, opportunities, and how we continue building practical MBE capability together.
