GovTech Catalyst
Guidance for the public sector about the GovTech Catalyst fund and how to apply to it.
The GovTech Catalyst uses a £20 million fund to pay suppliers to solve public sector problems using innovative digital technology.
The public sector propose complex problems (or ‘challenges’) that up to 5 suppliers are funded to work on for 3 months. If results are promising, up to 2 of those suppliers will continue to work on it for a year.
