VAT The purpose of this PIN is to provide advance notice that the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is considering undertaking a tender exercise to set up a new series of work packages under the Cyber Runway programme. These will boost the development of British cyber security SMEs with a special focus on removing barriers to growth. The government sees kickstarting economic growth as a key mission. DSIT plays a major part in that mission and its priorities include accelerating innovation, investment and productivity through world-class science, research and development; using technology for good by ensuring that new and existing technologies are safely developed and deployed across the UK and supporting a government which gives British citizens more of their time back. The Cyber Runway programme helps DSIT achieve in these areas by providing a multi-strand programme to British cyber entrepreneurs as they commercialise new products and make UK businesses and citizens safer and time richer. At the core of the Cyber Runway programme is a recognition of the importance of growth and resilience. Specifically, the resilience of the UK and the resilience of Emerging Tech. Recent estimated values of the Cyber Runway programme to date indicate that the total monetised benefits of the programme are between £12.3m and £17.6m. This range is significantly higher than the total programme costs. The government is therefore offering an invitation to tender (ITT) for Cyber Runway Year 5. This will be done through work packages.
