Design Your Region’s Future
Unlock smarter growth, stronger coordination, and connected prosperity with Newton Day’s Catalyst-powered approach to regional intelligence.
We help regional leaders transform ambition into action by turning fragmented strategies, disconnected systems, and siloed data into a unified regional operating model.
Through our Connected Regions solution stack, we combine sound governance principles, agile digital infrastructure, and a proven engagement model that brings industry, government, and communities together around shared outcomes.

Smart regional transformation isn’t a theory for us—it’s a track record.
Transport for London (2005)
Challenge: Building cooperation across 100+ organisations that ‘only ever met in court,’ independently planning roadworks, causing duplicated disruption and no visibility across the network.
Solution:
A map-based planning system built using the Catalyst Digital Management System. Provided a shared view of roadworks across Greater London.
Outcome:
- Acknowledged for contributing to the success of the 2012 London Olympics
- Reduced planning clashes
- Improved communications with the public
- Created one of the UK’s first multi-agency collaboration platforms
West Midlands Transport Authority – Regional Transport Intelligence
Challenge:
13 regional authorities lacked a unified view of transport systems, services, or citizen data. Systems were siloed and non-cooperative.
Solution:
A unified, Catalyst-powered Digital Management System to coordinate data, workflows, and services—without the need for coding or replacement systems.
Outcome:
- Enhanced regional coordination
- Streamlined citizen services
- Created a foundation for further innovation and data sharing
