Cyber Local Funding Now Open for Applications!
Today, DSIT is launching a funding opportunity for cyber security initiatives across England and Northern Ireland. This funding is available to support local projects which seek to either increase the quality, quantity and/or diversity of practitioners entering the cyber workforce, or to support the growth, innovation, and/or strength of cyber ecosystems across the country. Delivered by Innovate UK, applications for the scheme open today and will see grants of between £25,000 and £150,000 awarded to winning applicants by March 2025.
How to apply:
For organisations who would like to apply for funding, you will first need to submit an expression of interest for consideration by your region’s Cyber Local Steering Group before 27 September. Once your application has been considered and endorsed by the Steering Group you will be able to submit a full application for funding to our partners Innovate UK, which must be completed by 9 October.
For more information on this funding opportunity, how to apply, and all the relevant dates, contact details and supporting information please visit the competition page. Innovate UK will also be holding a briefing event on the 19 September which will expand on the application process and criteria for the programme, register for this event here
