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.
