CYBERSEC HUB

Poland: Małopolskie

Overview

CYBERSEC HUB as a non-profit organization coordinated by the Instytut Kościuszki (http://www.ik.org.pl) supports the development of the Polish national cybersecurity system, which plays a critical role in safeguarding the digital transformation of the country.

On the one hand, CYBERSEC HUB accelerates the growth and facilitates the access to external markets of the Polish innovative cybersecurity startups and SMEs, while on the other it brings foreign investors to the region. In this sense, SMEs, startups and entrepreneurs teams  have been supported in accessing several types of facilities used to prototype and test their latest digital solutions. 

The DIH contributes to the development of the CEE cybersecurity ecosystem and community by organising dedicated programmes, events and publishing the European Cybersecurity Market magazine.

CYBERSEC HUB aims to become a one-stop shop for cybersecurity solutions for local SMEs, big companies, international corporates, public administrations and critical infrastructure operations. 

The hub builds on the synergy between stakeholders from the Małopolska Region in Poland, with the city of Krakow as its strategic center. Krakow is one of the largest start-up hubs in Europe with over two hundred ICT businesses, unparalleled investment opportunities, and access to talent, funding and the entire EU market. This unique environment is what attracts global IT companies to the area, many of whom have already moved their Research, Development and Security Operations Centres to Małopolska. Krakow also hosts the European Cybersecurity Forum - CYBERSEC, one of the main public policy conferences on cybersecurity.

DIHs is part of the consultation process, and will be included as one of the stakeholder, in the emerging National Industry 4.0 Platform that the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Technology of Poland is developing.
