From deepfake detection to synthetic data security, CyberBoost Catalyse cohort eyes global growth

CyberBoost Catalyse equips the most ambitious cyber startups from around the world with the knowledge and connections they need to fast-track their global growth across Singapore, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, US, UK and key international markets.

Established by the CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre, supported by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) and National University of Singapore (NUS) and powered by Plexal, we’re pleased to welcome the third CyberBoost Catalyse cohort of innovative companies following two successful programmes.

CyberBoost Catalyse begins this week on the ground in Singapore at the CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre as the startups connect with and learn about Singapore’s cyber and tech ecosystem. Over the next six months, we’ll support the startups as they master their growth strategy, build international connections, tap into investment and commercial opportunities and enter cyber ecosystems in Singapore and beyond.

The seven startups chosen to join the CyberBoost Catalyse community are headquartered in Singapore, the UK, the US and Oman. Read more about them and get in touch on cyberboost@cybersg.sg or cyberboost@plexal.com to mentor, invest in or connect with them.
