The future of cyber starts here

Bring your idea

Through our challenge-led innovation programme, we’ll give you the opportunity to solve real cyber challenges set by real businesses – then give you the support you need to turn your innovations into a commercial success. 

If we can identify a commercial pathway for your solution, we’ll help you bring it to market and sell it back to the businesses who told us they need it.

Build your team

Do you have a solution that you feel is commercially viable but lack the team to make it happen? Our challenge programme builds teams around Domain Knowledge Experts to make that solution a reality.

Through our links with organisations like Airbus, Thales and CGI, we will help you test the market demand for your solution and, if viable, help to build the team around you to take it to market.

Join a startup

Are you an enthusiastic and energetic individual with a passion for solving problems? The startup journey may be for you. 

We know the idea of starting your own business can be scary. You might have no idea how it would work. That’s why we’re here. Get in touch and we’ll talk you through it. 

We’re looking for a diverse range of people. You may be an innovator with an idea you think could be the next big cyber security solution but have no idea where to start commercialising it. 

You may feel you need someone with commercial skills, business development knowledge, or software engineering skills to help you. Maybe you are the commercial genius or the programming guru that could help? 

We are here to help you find your ideal business partners. That’s what we do, and our Hub partners have a track record in forming teams that become successful companies. 

We make these things transparent. We find the best talent, and we help you put it all together to form a balanced and strong commercial team. 

We’ll put you on our unique entrepreneurship programme to help you build your business model. We’ll partner you with world leading researchers and industry partners to ensure your solution is at the cutting edge of the market. We’ll help you validate your solution in realistic scenarios. We’ll even help you get in front of investors. 

In 12 months you could be running your own business. What are you waiting for?

Solve Problems

Through our challenge-led innovation programme, we are actively seeking commercial challenges facing businesses like yours. 

The Hub will then identify solutions with potential for commercialisation via new start-up companies. If we can identify a commercial pathway for a solution, our teams will build it and bring it to market – so that you can procure the solution to solve your problem.

Cyber skills

If you’re finding it difficult to find the right cyber skillset in the people you employ, or your existing workforce needs a deeper, hands-on understanding of cyber security, get in touch. 

We’re shaping a range of practical bitesize courses that won’t cost the earth, developing the curriculum in line with your needs. Contact us to talk through how we can shape a training course for your staff to directly address your cyber skills needs.

Is cyber for me?

‘I’m not a techy’, ‘I don’t know how to programme’, ‘I’m not a maths person’, ‘I don’t know crypto’… sound familiar? Let us demystify cyber security for you. 

Cyber security is a mindset. It’s about thinking differently. It’s about problem solving. It’s about keeping the lights on, keeping business flowing, and staying safe online. 

We’ll offer cyber taster days, where our industry partners will explain a ‘day in the life’ for different cyber career pathways. Come and listen. What do you have to lose? 

If you want to take the next step, we’ll offer affordable, bite-size training courses from introductions to cybersecurity through to deep-dive, hands-on upskilling in different technology areas. We’ll even try to help you get an interview after the training.
