This event brings together policymakers, cybersecurity authorities, defence stakeholders, industry leaders, start-ups, and academia to explore how Europe can strengthen its long-term cyber resilience in an era of accelerating technological change and growing geopolitical competition.

The event focuses on next-generation and dual-use cybersecurity technologies—from AI-enabled security solutions and advanced threat detection to secure cloud infrastructures and cyber-physical systems protection—and examines how these capabilities can be effectively integrated across civilian, defence, and hybrid operational environments. Emphasis is placed on bridging policy ambition with technological readiness and real-world deployment.
