Covering key topics including skills, diversity and ecosystem development, the Minister was given a wide ranging brief on the local ecosystem, our challenges and the opportunities at hand for NI.

Hosted at Rapid7, the Minister took the opportunity to engage with companies, with an emphasis on how best Government can support our ever evolving cyber security industry to thrive.

Simon Whittaker, Chair of NI Cyber – 

‘It was a real pleasure to welcome Minister Clark to Belfast and to showcase the NI Cyber Cluster, a growing ecosystem characterised by a determination to ensure that Northern Ireland continues to thrive as a global cyber hub.

Our roundtable event gave some of our key industry and academic partners the opportunity to inform the Minister of the opportunities at hand, as well as showcasing the unique talents and characteristics of the NI Cyber community.

Our hope is that she will return to London with a greater insight into our globally recognised region, and we look forward to welcoming her back to Belfast soon.’
