Our intelligence partners
MI6 is part of the UK Intelligence Community, alongside MI5, also known as the Security Service, and GCHQ. As you might expect, we work closely together on strategies, operations and events, and share technical and human resources where we can.
We also work closely with liaison partners internationally. The Five Eyes community (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States) is a key intelligence partnership, and we work with partners where we have shared interests and are working towards shared goals.
Our industry partners
And finally, we work with industry, particularly on some of the challenges and opportunities presenting themselves in this fast-paced world of technological development. Learn more about our industry outreach via our news page.
