In 2017 we collaborated with NCSC Cyber Accelerator, in the development of NCSC for startups, a unique initiative that provides startups with insights and guidance from NCSC experts, enabling them to develop, adapt or pilot technology to address the biggest cybersecurity challenges facing the UK. Companies selected to participate in the programme have been given access to world-class expertise in the NCSC and Telefónica's global business network. There were 7 acceleration programmes delivered, over 30 startups accelerated, and over £35M raised by the startups.
