This is a holding page for information about the Cyber West and Wales project.
Through the Cyber Wales and West project we aim to provide an industry-focused test bed and innovation environment harnessing the experience, talent and entrepreneurial skill from across the region to create new opportunities in cyber security that will be of service to society.
The project is designed to drive economic growth by capitalising on a world-beating cluster of research and business investment, but in a way that achieves inclusive growth, enabling all of our communities across the region to benefit. Ultimately, the aim is to work with our partners across the region to support establishing new business growth and enterprise facilities, support training and provision of specialist up-skilling activities, grow capacity for world class research, create unique large-scale research platforms aimed at the cybersecurity challenges of infrastructure systems, develop an industrial cyber super-cluster, and harness the diversity of experience, talent, insight and entrepreneurial skill from all parts of our community.
One element of the project is to create a new innovation and enterprise hub on the proposed Cheltenham Cyber Business Park. The hub would complement and build on existing cyber innovation programmes led by GCHQ. The hub would draw on the University of Gloucestershire’s track record and facilities in computing and cyber degree programmes, and our expertise in providing excellent Growth Hub services to support business. It would support the creation and growth of innovative cyber businesses as a core component in creating a thriving and successful Cyber Park, giving a major boost to growth and economic development in the county.
