Vision

We solve industry’s hyper-complex problems, develop world-class people and innovate to drive societal progress. 

We envisage a future where digital technologies solve the most challenging problems we face as a society. A future where we can accelerate processes & make them more efficient. Where we explore design spaces to find novel solutions for challenges and where we utilise high performance compute and its adjacent tools to push knowledge and innovation to new levels.

People are critical to the journey. World-class talent will collaborate and drive this vision, bringing awareness to the strategic value of industrial digitalisation.

Bold, progressive engineering will create a step change in efficiency. Modelling, simulation and high performance compute all have a role to play in significantly improving the UK’s ability to respond to industrial challenges. We’re here to unlock the potential that digital technologies have and create unlimited possibilities.
