West Midlands Cyber

From Working Group to Cyber Hub

The West Midlands Cyber Hub grew out of a shared ambition to connect the region’s cyber businesses, practitioners, universities, and public-sector partners. We look at how that community developed and the foundations it created for the next stage of regional cyber collaboration.

West Midlands Cyber in Action

Cyber capability is being built across the West Midlands through businesses, universities, events, skills programmes and collaboration. We look at how activity across the region is connecting cyber with innovation, manufacturing, leadership and workforce development.

Why Regional Cyber Support Matters

National cyber guidance is extensive, but organisations still need practical help turning advice into action. Regional cyber support can connect businesses with expertise, skills, programmes, research and trusted networks close to where they operate.

Building Regional Cyber Capability

Practical support, cyber clinics, skills activities, events and stronger connections between businesses and specialists formed the core of the West Midlands Cyber Hub programme in 2026. We look at how these activities helped strengthen cyber capability across the region.

Building a Home for Cyber in the West Midlands

Creating a stronger regional cyber community requires more than a network. The West Midlands Cyber Hub established a physical home where businesses, practitioners, universities and partners could meet, collaborate and build new connections.
