Plexal is the innovation company solving society's challenges through collaboration with government, startups and industry. The business is closing the gap between organisations – small and large, local and global, private and public – and working towards a common goal: using science and technology to deliver national security and prosperity.

Plexal delivers projects for key government departments and global tech companies including the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, National Cyber Security Centre, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Amazon Web Services, Airbus and Barclays Eagle Labs. The NCSC For Startups alumni of over 70 companies has collectively raised over £526m and created over 1,700 jobs, while 72 cyber startups that have gone through Plexal’s LORCA accelerators have collectively raised over £300m, generated more than £68m in revenue and hired over 800 people.

Plexal hopes to use 18ENISE to meet European Start-ups looking to break into the UK market, as well as showing select UK start-ups the opportunities that the Spanish and European markets provide
