Showcasing the South-West as a place for innovation-led development and investment
We will be joining the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (WECA) and Invest Bristol & Bath at UKREiiF 2026 to champion the South-West of England as the UK’s most dynamic region for innovation-led growth and inward investment.
NCC is a world-leading innovation organisation that turns cutting-edge research and technology into industrial impact. We bridge the gap between academia and industry, helping companies of all sizes to capitalise on cutting-edge innovations to deliver more. We do this at every stage of their journey and across the entire product lifecycle, from the earliest concept to end-of-life.
Part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult and the University of Bristol, we provide a gateway to world-class expertise, advanced facilities, and industrial collaboration.
Developing the materials, products and processes that will define our future.

At UKREiiF, we will showcase how collaboration between NCC, universities, industry and WECA is strengthening the region’s competitive edge – creating the conditions for new commercial developments, expanding innovation, attracting investment and building a resilient, future-focused economy across the West Innovation Arc and beyond.
From advanced research infrastructure to strategic industry partnerships, we’re helping shape the future of technology, aerospace and advanced manufacturing.
Catapulting the West! Aerospace, Defence & Energy at Scale
Led by NCC's Stephen Bashford - Strategic Partnerships Director and attended by Jo Dally, Chief Business Officer, this session explores how collaboration across the Western Innovation Arc is creating high-growth, investor-ready opportunities.
