“This collaboration will bring radical and disruptive technologies to market – fast, risk mitigated and economical.” Therefore, we are looking forward to expanding our research and innovation ecosystem of world-leading universities and research institutes working with CSA Catapult. Professor Rolf Hellinger, vice president of power electronics at Siemens, said: “Power electronics is one of the Company Core Technologies for Siemens. Siemens and CSA Catapult will jointly work on initiatives with other UK partners to address the skills gaps in power electronics. Siemens employees will be based on-site at the Catapult, they will host Siemens colleagues from recruits to sponsored students and PhDs. There will be a dedicated Siemens power electronics innovation hub at CSA Catapult in Newport to facilitate engagement with the UK power electronics ecosystems such as universities, Catapults, RTOs, industrial partners, start-ups, and grant funding organisations. CSA Catapult has a track record in bringing together end-to-end UK supply chains in power electronics.
