The European Champions Alliance (ECA) is pleased to welcome Root-Me PRO as its newest member, further strengthening its community of European technology leaders committed to innovation, competitiveness, and digital sovereignty.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, Europe’s ability to build a resilient digital future depends not only on cutting-edge technologies but also on developing the skills and talent needed to secure them. Root-Me PRO has made this mission the cornerstone of its activities, helping organizations and individuals develop practical cybersecurity expertise through hands-on learning and community engagement.
Building Europe’s Next Generation of Cybersecurity Talent
Root-Me PRO is the professional extension of the Root-Me association, a community established in 2006 that has become an internationally recognized reference for practical cybersecurity training. Over the years, it has brought together a global community of cybersecurity enthusiasts, students, educators, and professionals, creating an environment where learning is driven by real-world challenges and knowledge sharing.
Today, Root-Me PRO supports businesses, educational institutions, and public organizations through cybersecurity training, awareness programs, technical competitions, talent identification, and career development initiatives. Its commitment also extends to European and international projects, including the organization of WorldSkills cybersecurity competitions and contributions to the European Commission’s Cybersecurity Skills Academy.
A Shared Vision for Europe’s Digital Sovereignty
By joining the European Champions Alliance, Root-Me PRO reinforces a shared ambition to strengthen Europe’s cybersecurity ecosystem through collaboration, innovation, and skills development.
