A cyber community to connect, learn and explore cyber and technology.

About our cluster

The Swindon & Wiltshire Cyber Cluster (SWCC) is a dynamic, diverse, and forward-thinking group of like-minded individuals, who receive ongoing support suitable for all businesses.

The group creates a valuable and action-based network focussed on growth and innovation in the cyber sector, and at the same time supporting SMEs from all sectors across the Swindon and Wiltshire region. Our Cluster events support national and international initiatives as well as provide opportunities.

The Cluster encourages collaboration, identifies partnership opportunities, and provides networking to share ideas and best practices.  This provides specialist cyber businesses with opportunities to find new ways to thrive and drive innovation, while giving the business community the opportunity to learn more about cyber security from our specialist members.

ABOUT US
