Individuals based in a UK academic institution can apply for a share of up to £800,000 to join the Cyber Security Academic Startup Accelerator Programme (CyberASAP).
The aim of this competition is to identify the most promising commercial opportunities in academia in respect to cyber security.
Your proposal must include the area of your research, the problem that you are solving and your proposed solution.
The Cyber Security Academic Startup Accelerator Programme (CyberASAP) is an 11 month programme.
This is phase 1 of a potential 2 phase competition.
Phase 1 will last up to four months, split into two stages:
- an initial two months for value proposition development activities, followed by a presentation to an independent judging panel who will select teams to go to stage 2
- a further two months for market validation activities
Phase 1 will determine the value of the idea and, if appropriate, identify the best commercial route to progress. The programme will be supported by industry experts, including some from cyber security.
Competition closes on 12th February at 11am – to find out more and apply, click here.
