CyberASAP announces Cyber Security Projects progressing to develop Proofs of Concepts
The Cyber Security Academic Accelerator Programme (CyberASAP) has recently announced the academic teams selected to progress to the second phase of the programme. From 28 teams starting the programme last April, the final 14 teams have been identified as having the greatest potential and will now develop their Proof of Concept Demonstrators to be showcased to industry and investors in February 2021.
Representing universities from all over the UK, the chosen cohort of 14 will participate in a varied range of workshops designed to provide them with further support on their journey from lab-based concept to commercially viable product. Delivering the programme are KTN’s Programme Directors, Emma Fadlon and Robin Kennedy.
“It’s exciting to get to this stage. It has been great to be able to give the 20 teams who completed Phase 1 (from 28 who started the programme back in April) a helping hand to develop their ideas through the first phase of the programme. We can now start to further support our final Phase 2 teams to take them even further on their commercialisation journey” said Emma Fadlon.
Never has cyber security been more important and, to meet the ongoing cyber threat, a pipeline of new products is key. Unique in the cyber security ecosystem, and playing a vital role in populating this pipeline, CyberASAP exists to ensure great cyber security concepts, born in university labs, find their way to market.
The successful teams begin their Phase 2 journey with a Boot Camp in late September. This kickstarts a comprehensive programme of workshops and training sessions delivered by KTN and its network of special advisers to help teams develop the essential skills needed to make a success of their commercialisation plans, as they concurrently develop their Proof of Concept Demonstrators.
