Between June 2018 and October 2019, three Global Expert Missions took place to Singapore, the USA and Israel to better understand their research and innovation landscapes and to establish potential opportunities for collaboration in the cyber security sector. The intention of the Missions was to identify the specific areas where a more focussed collaborative innovation approach would be mutually of interest and beneficial.

10. Why these countries
§ Israel – identify as a ‘Start-up Nation’ and a world leader in
cybersecurity
§ USA - a world leader in cyber security innovation by both market
size and R&D; the mission focused on East coast (Maryland and
Washington)
§ Singapore – seen as a gateway for Asian market; ranked as the

Challenge
(Supported by over £120m
from global industry)
By 2025, the ISCF Digital Security by
Design challenge aims to overcome
the market failures and radically
update the foundation of the
insecure digital computing
infrastructure that underpins the
entire economy. A new and secure
computer hardware approach, proven
in at least two major industrial
markets, will protect against at least
half of known and associated future
technological vulnerabilities.
