NCC Group welcomes the announcement of the UK-US Tech Prosperity Deal, a landmark agreement that promises to accelerate innovation across AI, quantum computing, and clean energy, while unlocking significant investment and job creation across both nations.
As a global cyber security and resilience specialist, NCC Group recognises the transformative potential of this partnership, not only for technological advancement, but also for the opportunity to embed trust and security into the digital foundations of tomorrow.
Mike Maddison, CEO at NCC Group commented:
“Today’s pact marks an important milestone in UK-US technology cooperation. In a world shaped by rapid technological shifts and geopolitical uncertainty, the creation of a trusted digital ecosystem with like-minded global partners is essential for securing our technology future.
But while the adoption of new technologies like AI and quantum can bring many benefits to society, they also come with risk. Concerns about safety, security and resilience can erode trust, discourage adoption and, ultimately, hamper growth and innovation.
I therefore urge the UK and US governments, and their international allies, to ensure that cyber security and digital resilience are built into the technology programmes announced today. This must include close collaboration with industry partners, tapping into the expertise, talent and research capabilities that are ripe across the UK’s ‘frontier’ cyber sector.”
NCC Group looks forward to supporting the development of secure, resilient infrastructure and contributing to the shared vision of a digitally empowered and protected future.
