Where we fit

The UK Innovation Initiative provides a broad, high level perspective of the interrelations between innovators, corporates and the IT security communities. 

There are many organisations catering for one or other of these disciplines but we do not compete with any of these - on the contrary we aim to provide first steps to enable innovators to get the best out of whichever of these bodies will help them best.
