Cyber Innnovation Hub - Hyb Arloesedd Seiber

The vision of the Cyber Innovation Hub is, “To transform Cardiff Capital Region into a leading UK cyber cluster by 2030”. The Hub will achieve this by creating a pipeline of new cyber products, high-growth businesses, and talent in the region. The Cyber Innovation Hub is being led by Cardiff University with a consortium of multiple private and public sector partners including Airbus, the Alacrity Foundation, CGI, Thales NDEC, Tramshed Tech, and the University of South Wales. The Hub is funded by Welsh Government and Cardiff Capital Region.

By 2030, Cyber Innovation Hub aims to deliver:
At least 25 new high-growth companies
A skills programme to train at least 1,500 cyber-skilled individuals

A unique selling point for the region will be the joining up of strategic plans and physical infrastructure around cyber-specific innovation, skills, incubation and product acceleration across industry and academia, which is not evident elsewhere in the UK. It is hoped that achieving a critical mass of activity with associated success in delivery will pull national and international investment into the region, with economic benefit to all partners, funders and the wider community.
