Cardiff to become UK leading new Cyber Innovation Hub

The £6m co-investment in a Cardiff University-led Cyber Innovation Hub (CIH) is expected to drive the transformation and growth of a UK Leading innovative cybersecurity cluster in South Wales, Cardiff Capital Region.

Funding is being made available to a consortium led by Cardiff University, to develop the partnership with collaborators including Airbus, Alacrity Cyber, CGI, Thales NDEC, Tramshed Tech, and the University of South Wales.

Backed by an initial £5.68m over two years from Welsh Government and Cardiff Capital Region (CCR), CIH expects to attract £15m in total over five years, train more than 1,000 cyber-skilled people and create a coordinated catalyst for new products, high-growth businesses and talent in the region.
