Do you think you have a solution to a cyber security issue?

We work with businesses and the public sector to identify cybersecurity challenges that they face and put them out in Challenge Calls. You can then submit your ideas on solutions to these challenges and if we think your idea is a go-er, we create a start-up team around you through our 12-month Venture Programme. Doing it this way ensures any ideas will be tightly tailored to industry demand and attractive to private equity investors.
