COcyber joined BEDEX Brussels 2026 on 13 - 14 March to engage with key actors from the European defence and cybersecurity ecosystem. The event highlighted strong interest in the COcyber Platform and the need for a clearer one-stop hub for dual-use cybersecurity information.

The European Commission has mobilised €910 million through the European Defence Fund and proposed new amendments to EU funding programmes to strengthen Europe's Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB), with a focus on dual-use technologies like AI and cybersecurity.

COcyber is a collaborative effort that connects civilian and defense sectors to strengthen cybersecurity across Europe. By facilitating knowledge sharing, identifying challenges, and promoting joint solutions, COcyber works to build a unified approach to address the complexities of modern cyber threats.
