The most promising European cybersecurity start-ups and SMEs will have a chance to pitch their innovative cybersecurity solutions and hold B2B meetings with the leading investors and corporates from Europe and beyond. NOTE: 10th Cyber Investor Days will be organised as an in-person event. A remote connection option will be considered depending on the health situation.

ECSO’s STARtup Award. Two best cybersecurity companies participating at the Helsinki edition of the Cyber Investor Days will be nominated to compete for the ECSO’s European Cybersecurity STARtup Award 2021. Nominees will be selected by the local jury and will be invited to participate in the final competition, which will be held in the Hague in February 2022. Nominees will pitch in front of the European jury and will have a unique opportunity to present themselves to high-level investors, corporate executives and cybersecurity experts.

Slush 2021. The Helsinki edition will take place on the same days as Slush 2021, gathering founders, investors, executives and media representatives. We believe that this is a great opportunity to get the ‘best of both worlds’. IMPORTANT NOTE: Participation at Slush 2021 is NOT a prerequisite to apply and be selected for the Helsinki edition of the ECSO’s CYBER INVESTOR DAYS.

We look forward to seeing you in Helsinki!
