Total Quantity or Scope

The Accelerated Capability Environment (ACE) solves public safety and security challenges by bringing together the best of public and private sector capabilities, especially new digital and data technologies. It brings together expertise from industry and academia to innovate collaboratively and deliver front line mission impact at pace. ACE is a Home Office capability and is a partnership between the public and private sectors with access to a community of organisations and experts drawn from the private sector and academia, from which it selects and combines the capabilities best suited to any given problem. It was established in 2017, and ACE has applied its approach of industry-led innovation and co-creation to increasingly wide-ranging challenges from across government and other public sector agencies. This has included playing a role in transforming public services through leveraging technologies such as artificial intelligence and data science to accelerate and automate processes, reduce duplication of effort, and better equip decision makers and the operational front line to be their most effective.
