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.

CyberDIVA and Online Harm

Researchers, practitioners and organisations across the West Midlands are contributing to the challenge of online harm. CyberDIVA highlights how collaboration across technology, safeguarding, policy and research can help address complex digital risks.

Funding and Support for Cyber SMEs

Funding can help cyber businesses develop products, build capability and reach new markets, but grants are only one part of the growth landscape. We look at funding, procurement, support and commercial opportunities available to growing cyber SMEs.

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.
