ECSO is proud to announce a new edition of the Cyber Investor Days, set to take place on 21 October 2025 in Prague, on the sideline of the Czech Startup Week. This event has received the auspices of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and is co-organised with the Cyberhive EUROPE, and supported by CzechInvest, Startup Kitchen, DEPO Ventures, the Prague Innovation Institute, Prague City, CEVRO University, and NUKIB. It will bring together top investors, corporate leaders, and cybersecurity innovators for an exclusive afternoon of pitches, networking, and strategic discussions.

The Cyber Investor Days mark an excellent opportunity for the most promising European cybersecurity startups and SMEs to showcase their innovative solutions on a prestigious European stage. With the chance to pitch directly to leading investors and corporations from across the continent, participants will have unparalleled access to potential funding avenues.
The event also offers a unique opportunity to explore dynamic and rapidly growing cyber security ecosystem in Czech Republic.
Ivo Denemark – Director of Startups and Venture Investments:
,,The Czech Republic is emerging as a cybersecurity innovation hub, driven by global firms like Avast, Gen Digital, Resistant AI, and Whalebone. Strong technical universities such as Czech Technical University and Masaryk University fuel cutting-edge research in AI, cryptography, and threat intelligence, making the country a key contributor to Europe’s digital security ecosystem.”
