The Heartland of the UK Defence and Security Sector
A global hub for cyber excellence, world-class innovation and talent
The North West Cyber Corridor is a dynamic and rapidly expanding hub for cyber security excellence. Spanning from Lancashire to Manchester and encompassing Cumbria, Merseyside, and Cheshire, the term "North West Cyber Corridor" was introduced during the announcement of the National Cyber Force's (NCF) new headquarters at Samlesbury in Lancashire.
The NCF's relocation to Samlesbury signifies a strategic investment in the UK's cyber security infrastructure and a commitment to regional development. By leveraging the North West's existing cyber expertise, the NCF aims to strengthen national security and contribute to the economic vitality
of the area.
Our Aim
