CyberASAP Year 8 - Demo Day

Overview

As advancements in cyberspace continue to develop at an ever-accelerating pace, so too does the need to keep our highly-connected world safe. To do this, we need a continuous pipeline of innovative cyber security services and products.

Many of those originate in academic labs throughout the UK, with prototypes of some of the very best developed and accelerated via CyberASAP (Cyber Security Academic Start up Accelerator Programme), dedicated to helping realise the commercial potential of academic cyber research.

Now in its eighth year, CyberASAP provides academics with the expertise, knowledge and training needed to convert their research into technologies, products and services in this key sector of the global economy. The programme creates a pipeline to move great cyber security ideas out of the university lab and into the commercial market.

Alumni of the programme have raised over £32million in funding since leaving the programme, and have formed 32 companies to date; with some having been acquired (including by Google) and others licensing their technology. Notable Alumni include KETS Quantum, Mindgard, Lupovis, CAPSLOCK, Cavero Quantum  and FACT360.

About the Event

Taking cohorts with innovative cybersecurity solutions through their journey to commercialisation, the CyberASAP Demo Day is your chance to get involved with the development and implementation of these prototypes and bring them to market.

The CyberASAP Demo Day is your chance to get a first-look at these proofs of concept and meet the talented teams behind them for the very first time.
