Online Cross-Border Matchmaking Event, 12 February 2026

The primary goal of this online cross-border matchmaking event is to connect members of national cybersecurity expert communities from various NCCs with entities interested in current and upcoming Digital Europe Cybersecurity calls.

Partner meetings

The event aims to foster partnerships, enhance cooperation and networking, and support the formation of potential project consortia for joint proposals under EU funding calls.

A dedicated pitching session will enable participants to present their organisations, find project partners and present project ideas.

The event will provide a structured platform for participants to:

  • Learn about NCCs’ activities, services, and roles in the national/EU cybersecurity ecosystem.
  • Learn about currently open DEP Cybersecurity calls and funding opportunities.
  • Present their organisations, know-how, experience, and possible project ideas.
  • Strengthen cross-border collaboration between various types of entities in the EU cybersecurity ecosystem (public, private, and academic sectors).
