On Wednesday 11 October, techUK will host our fifth annual Cyber Innovation Den, one of our flagship cyber events which focus on providing valuable opportunities for the UK cyber security community to network, celebrate the brightest innovations within the sector and to explore the key issues facing it.
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. Register now to attend.
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 2023.
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.
