Maximising Membership: Defence, Security and Cyber Event Round Up

On 8 July, techUK’s Defence, National Security and Cyber Resilience programme teams showcased to an audience of existing members the work currently being undertaken in these areas across techUK and how members can get involved.

During the session, attendees were shown the team’s efforts in bridging the gap between industry and government, looking at technology as an enabler and addressing the challenges for defence, security and cyber companies operating in the UK. 

Alongside this, the session outlined how techUK’s structure enables greater collaboration and the opportunity for partnerships and policy impact. You can find a recording of the session below.
