Cyber Runway Has Taken Off!

From new ventures to global scaleups, 108 innovators from across the UK have been chosen for our Cyber Runway accelerator.

They're solving challenges like ransomware, cyber fraud, cyber-physical threats to critical national infrastructure, cloud security, improving threat intelligence and boosting education using emerging technologies such as AI, quantum and cloud security.

The Cyber Runway members represent some of the most innovative and high-potential cyber startups currently operating in the UK.

Backed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and delivered by Plexal in partnership with CyLon, Deloitte and CSIT (the Centre for Secure Information Technologies), Cyber Runway will be an intensive six-month programme.

Three streams will support cyber startups based on their growth phase:

Launch: 20 entrepreneurs will get support with launching their business, building a minimum viable product and creating a network.

Grow: 68 startups and SMEs will get business support to help them address their growing pains, access funding and achieve commercial success.

Scale: 20 scaleups will access support (including 1:1 mentoring) to help them grow rapidly in the UK and around the world.

Decode Cyber Solutions are delighted to be part of the Cyber Runway Launch programme. We are creating a programme that will allow trained individuals to provide safety and security advice together with mental health and wellbeing support to young people who are impacted by online issues. Our programme will also support trained staff in businesses and organisations to provide similar support to staff who are impacted by online issues. This will help prevent breaches caused by human error, and address the psychological and wellbeing impact of cybersecurity incidents. We are looking forward to meeting and collaborating with everyone involved in the forthcoming months.
