National Security Committee

The National Security Committee exists to drive and govern the work of the techUK National Security Programme. It is comprised of senior representatives from strategically important companies active in National Security markets and policy areas across the UK. Its focus is to address the strategic-level security concerns that impact the UK tech sector, and providing a forum for the Government’s national security community to engage with technology suppliers on industry engagement opportunities.

The National Security Committee is techUK’s authoritative voice on national security issues, and highlights the opportunity for the technology industry to offer solutions to them. The National Security Committee seeks to engage with relevant stakeholders in HMG, bringing them together with the technology industry to agree views and perspectives on a wide range of topics. These include promoting a community of open collaboration in what is typically a secret, complex and risk-averse environment and addressing the specific challenges of SMEs operating in the national security sector. 

The National Security Committee will meet bi-monthly to discuss the above.

This is an elected committee - please get in touch with the team below if you want to learn more.
