South Wales businesses to benefit from £20m cyber centre

It’s been announced that the University of South Wales, the Welsh Government and Thales, a global technology firm, are collaborating to create a £20m cyber centre.

The National Digital Exploitation Centre (NDEC) which will be in Ebbw Vale, will be part of the Tech Valleys programme. The Welsh Government has committed £100m of funding to the programme which aims to create 1,500 jobs in the long-run. The centre, the first facility of its kind in Wales, aims to provide SMEs and micro businesses with facilities to both test and develop their digital innovations.
The university will be running an advanced cyber institute at the centre, providing a base for academic research alongside a digital education centre designed to enable SMEs, schools and individuals to develop their skills and be able to protect themselves online. Construction is due to commence in spring 2019 with Thales having already moved into a project office at the site in Ebbw Vale. The cyber centre will help Wales to exploit global opportunities of digital transformation whilst equipping businesses with the skills and knowledge that they need to win a greater share of both regional and national projects.
