Our Cyber Runway cohort onboarding extravaganza continues at pace, having recently welcomed talented researchers, startups, scaleups and founders to Launch, Ignite and Scale.
Recently detailing the value of the programme, Abu Sayed, Director at Daintta, the cyber security consultancy, said: “Being part of the Cyber Runway alumni has been brilliant for my company. Personally, it’s given me a lot of skills, tools and techniques that’s helped our organisation grow.
“More broadly, being part of the Plexal community is fantastic – it’s one of the few that’s actually unique. The team has curated a community of like-minded yet very diverse organisations, which can come together to solve some of the most complex challenges we face in society today. It’s a pleasure being part of that.”
Today, we welcome 22 companies to the Plexal Stratford workspace as they begin Cyber Runway Grow – our programme for cyber startups and SMEs to nail their product-market fit, get commercialisation support and lay the foundations for growth.
This comes as Cyber Runway, which is funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and supported by the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) and Deloitte, is now in its fourth year.
Plexal designed Cyber Runway d to increase entrepreneurial representation and navigate the economic landscape, which are among the major challenges facing the UK’s cyber sector. This has involved working to accelerate the growth of startups and create greater connectivity between regional, national and international networks, which has seen tours spanning Surrey to San Francisco.
