COcyber took part in the GovTech4All Summit in Bizkaia by hosting a seminar on Post-Quantum Cryptography, led by Professor Federico Pintore and moderated by Maria-Chiara Zaccaria. The event also featured Maria-Chiara in a high-level roundtable, reinforcing COcyber’s role in connecting cybersecurity innovation with public-sector needs.

We spoke with the COcyber Batch #1 Ambassadors to reflect on their journey and gather their insights on Europe’s cybersecurity future. Nizar Touleimat highlights the need for dual-use innovation and strategic alignment, and values the COcyber experience for delivering concrete outcomes and advancing civil-defence collaboration.
