This fabulous article from Nick Sturge MBE highlights many of the reasons that we started Cyber Security Valley UK .
#midlandsengine is to me a similar concept and one that I am also very supportive of.
When companies eye Europe and the UK for a base they don’t understand little known towns and cities. Without wishing to insult anyone the typical question is ” are you near London ? “. Ireland, London and Holland are the well known locations.
#Birmingham and #Midlands they may know – just.
Even with #GCHQ at the centre of the Valley and even to #CyberSecurity people we still have work to do to highlight the benefits of the #cybersecurityvalleyuk ” Triangle ” ( the big triangle would probably be Birmingham, Cardiff, Exeter although I understand Nick’s triangle ).
It is VITAL at this time we work together and talk about developments like Golden Valley, Skylon Park and Berkeley Green.
As Nick says there are many Universities involved here and there will be 3 Cyber Resilience Centres too.
Building an understandable and cohesive BRAND and working together closely is vital.
