Este trabajo lleva a cabo un análisis de la experiencia de Catapult, un programa gubernamental del Reino Unido surgido una década atrás consistente en la creación y sostenimiento de una red de nuevos centros de desarrollo tecnológico aplicado destinados a atender las demandas y requerimientos de los actores productivos privados de dicho país. A través del análisis de numerosos documentos oficiales, auditorías del programa y entrevistas a actores clave el artículo analiza las características centrales de la política en cuestión, incluyendo los elementos que definen la gobernanza del sistema, el esquema de financiamiento vigente, el alcance de las actividades tecnológicas de los centros y su vínculo con las empresas privadas.
