The UK government has announced a new ‘first-of-its-kind’ program designed to nurture the nation’s cybersecurity start-ups.

The £250,000 Early Stage Accelerator Programme will help start-ups in the space get advice, support and funding to develop their products and services and bring them to market.

It will be run by Cyber London – described as “Europe’s first cybersecurity accelerator and incubator space” – and the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) at Queen’s University Belfast.

The latter has a strong track record in the cybersecurity space, having last year been on the receiving end of a £5m government investment project designed to expand cybersecurity research and innovation capabilities at the university.
