The GCHQ Cyber Accelerator is a collaboration between the UK Government Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and Wayra UK, part of Telefónica Open Future_.

The first step in the development of two world-leading innovation centers as part of the Government’s £1.9bn National Cyber Security Programme, it will drive innovation in the cyber security sector and help keep British businesses and consumers safe from online attacks and threats.

Successful applicants will gain access to GCHQ’s world-class personnel and technological expertise to allow them to expand capability, improve ideas and devise cutting-edge products to outpace current and emerging threats.

The partnership will help teams develop their businesses and secure the investment needed to take their companies to the next level.

A roster of best-in-class coaches and mentors from GCHQ and the wider Telefónica Group – including O2 and ElevenPaths – will provide support. Start-ups will also receive a financial grant and access to workspace.
