Ensuring the safety and security of our populace while advancing economic growth and prosperity are imperative. The United Kingdom will persist in funding inventive collaborations to cultivate competencies and augment commercial potential in order to tackle the dynamic cyber security terrain within our nations."

Over the course of the year, this will be provided through mentorship, exposure to UK best practices, training sessions led by subject matter experts, networking opportunities, and a hands-on group project.
