Mapping european cybersecurity champions since 2020
There is no equivalent mapping of the European cybersecurity ecosystem today. With the European Cybersecurity Mapping, we are building the reference point for innovation, collaboration, and visibility.
By providing a structured overview of startups, scale-ups, corporates, and investors, the Mapping helps position Europe as a global leader in cybersecurity.
Key objectives:
Visibility: Showcase the diversity and strength of the European cybersecurity ecosystem.
Credibility: Establish a trusted, pan-European reference tool for industry stakeholders.
Connectivity: Bridge startups, investors, corporates, and policy-makers to accelerate collaboration.
Last year’s edition of the Mapping showed the demand for a clear and authoritative overview of Europe’s cybersecurity players. Hundreds of companies and investors engaged with the results, using the Mapping as a tool to navigate opportunities and partnerships.
800+ European cybersecurity start-ups and scale-ups featured
20+ expert interviews with VCs, companies and industry actors showcased
High visibility through media, events, and ECA communication campaigns
