ACE

The Accelerated Capability Environment (ACE) is a Home Office unit that takes an innovative, industry-led approach to solving technology and data challenges for UK public sector agencies, particularly in law enforcement and national security. Founded in 2017 within the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism (OSCT), it operates via the Vivace community of over 180 private sector and academic organisations, primarily SMEs and start-ups. It has since expanded beyond the Home Office to support wider government partners.
