Cybersecurity: Gloucestershire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of creating a cyber-security hub in Gloucestershire.
Answered by Feryal Clark
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology recognises Gloucestershire as a national leader in cyber security. Home to GCHQ and a thriving cyber ecosystem, the region will benefit from the new National Cyber Innovation Centre in Cheltenham, which will drive collaboration and investment. The recently published Digital and Technologies Sector Plan acknowledges the potential of the Golden Valley development. Government continues to work with local partners, including CyNam and the University of Gloucestershire, to advance cyber skills and innovation, supported by the Cyber Growth Action Plan to unlock further regional and national growth.
