Our Cyber Innovation and Integration Centre is a high-technology proving ground where we work with small businesses on cutting-edge technologies, evaluating and testing and as appropriate integrating solutions for clients. Thales ploughs 18% of its global revenues into research and development, enabling us to be at the forefront of the technology curve; we also work with a number of clients on horizon scanning in the area of Cyber Security, looking at defensive Cyber trends as well as the evolving threat landscape. Our Open Innovation model allows us to work with small business partners across the UK and indeed the world and a number of innovative solutions to customers’ problems have been designed and implemented through the Centre.
