This popular event brings together stakeholders from industry, government and academia to hear from a range of expert speakers who will explore the progress being made in ensuring the UK remains a leading hub of innovation in cyber. They’ll also provide insights on key issues such as how best growth and innovation can be stimulated by government; emerging threats and technologies; and opportunities for better collaboration between Primes and SMEs.
The event will once again feature our Cyber Innovation Pitching Competition, which will highlight the pioneering work that is present within the cyber security sector. This is a fantastic opportunity to hear from exciting cyber start-ups and SMEs about the latest R&D emerging from the cyber security sector, as the brightest companies in the country pitch their product or service to a panel of expert judges, with the winner named techUK's Cyber Innovator 2024.
Through an open call for applications, 10 finalists will be identified – showcasing the latest leading-edge capabilities, from a range of innovative SMEs across the UK cyber ecosystem.
You can find out more, including how to apply to pitch and key dates, here.
PLEASE NOTE: The event will begin at 13.00 sharp. A networking lunch will be served from 12.00 noon for those attending in person at techUK’s London office.
