Other than the challenge submission and preliminary contractual activities, industrial sponsors are required to assign a working group that will be responsible to communicate with Digital Catapult and successful applicants from the innovation community. In addition, industrial sponsors will have the authority to share relevant data that will assist in the creation of the prototypes.

Industrial sponsors will be required to commit resources throughout the programme, both from senior stakeholders but also from their legal and marketing departments. In addition, there will be set times during the programme where further input will be necessary.
