As part of the North European Cyber Days, ECSO will host a new edition of its Cyber Investor Days on 4 November 2025. This event offers a unique opportunity for Europe’s most promising cybersecurity start-ups and SMEs to pitch their innovations to leading investors and corporate leaders from across the continent.

The two top companies from the Oslo edition will be selected to participate in the ECSO STARtup Award 2026, gaining the opportunity to pitch at the European finals and connect with top-tier investors and industry leaders.

On 5 November, we will offer a dedicated space for CISOs, corporate decision-makers, and investors to explore cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions and connect with Europe’s leading providers through B2B meetings, pitch sessions, and interactive discussions.

For this edition, we have invited cybersecurity companies that have developed innovative solutions or products in the areas of Smart Communities, or Smart Healthcare.

The two best cybersecurity companies participating in the Nordic Edition of the Cyber Solution Days will be nominated to compete for the ECSO CISO Choice Award in early 2026. During the final ceremony, nominees from the ECSO Cyber Solution Days series will pitch to a European Judging Panel and will have a unique opportunity to present themselves to leading market players and buyers in Europe.

On 6 November we will explore major international initiatives, financing instruments, and collaboration opportunities supporting research and commercial development in cybersecurity. Discover how you can get involved in cross-border projects aimed at strengthening secure infrastructure and building resilient value chains across critical sectors.

The programme will feature three parallel tracks focused on key domains: cybersecurity, healthcare, and Smart Communities. Each session will showcase relevant EU and Nordic/Baltic funding opportunities—such as Horizon Europe Cluster 1, 3, 4, 5 calls and Missions—and include presentations, pilot cases, and workshops dedicated to fostering collaboration at both European and regional levels between industry, SMEs, and academia.
