The Energy Systems Catapult Alumni Network was set up to keep in touch and stay up to date with the great work our ex-colleagues have gone on to do since leaving the Catapult.
We’re having our second-person networking event on the evening of Tuesday 22 October 2024 at our offices in Cannon House, Birmingham. This is an opportunity to hear from those who went on to work in other Net Zero companies big and small.
We hope you will join us for this great chance to catch up with old friends, reminisce about the old days, and learn a bit more about what is happening in this most exciting of sectors.
