What is the London Cyber Innovation Centre

Who is involved in creating and developing the London Cyber Innovation Centre?

The London Cyber Innovation Centre will be run by Plexal and based in its Innovation Centre while supported by specialist partners Deloitte and CSIT.

Why is the London Cyber Innovation Centre being established?

Cyber security is a critical underpinning of a healthy digital economy and a huge economic opportunity for UK innovators to seize. As such, the UK Government’s National Cyber Security Strategy includes a commitment to deliver two innovation centres to drive the development of cutting-edge cyber products and dynamic new cyber companies.

When will the Centre be open for business?

We will be opening for our first cohort and members in the summer of 2018.
