It has been an incredible week, hosting all three Regional Qualifiers. We are amazed with the enthusiasm, inquisitiveness and insight demonstrated by the student competitors taking part.
The Briefing Rounds got intense at times as both students & judges alike fully immersed themselves in the fictional world of the scenario. It was wonderful to hear the thoughtful feedback given to teams afterwards by the judging panels and witness the camaraderie building over the course of each event.
Thanks to BAE Systems, BT, Beazley, the Financial Conduct Authority, DSIT, NCSC, the Civil Service Fast Stream and others for providing judges for the competition as well as delivering excellent career development sessions. And thank you to our hosts of Hub8 in Cheltenham and UA92 in Manchester.
Take a look back at all the Regional Qualifiers with event gallery.
Now, we’re looking ahead to the National Finals taking place at the iconic BT Tower in London in March. It promises to be a brilliant two-day event with more career development activities alongside the ramping up of the main competition.
Congratulations to all of the teams that competed this week and to the 2025 UK Cyber Leaders Challenge National Finalists.
Meet the National Finalists.
