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).
