Who we were.
Catalyst CIC ran from 2024–2026 as part of a wider tech justice network. During that time, Catalyst was made up of a changing group of people and organisations who cared about how tech justice. Some people were employed by Catalyst CIC, and many others were partners, collaborators and co‑conspirators.
Legacy note
Catalyst CIC closed in March 2026. This page is now part of a static archive of our work between 2024–2026, kept here so people can see and learn from what we did.
