Are you a Dutch cybersecurity company with international ambitions? Are you exploring opportunities in France or looking to strengthen your position in the European market? Then the Netherlands Pavilion at Forum InCyber Europe 2027 in Lille may be the right opportunity for your organisation.
Forum InCyber Europe is one of Europe’s leading cybersecurity events, bringing together companies, public authorities, knowledge institutions and ecosystem partners from across the continent. In 2027, the Netherlands will once again be present with a curated Pavilion in Lille, showcasing Dutch cybersecurity innovation and strengthening cooperation with France and other European partners.
A strategic and selective Dutch presence
Participation in the Netherlands Pavilion is intended for a limited number of Dutch organisations with a strong strategic fit. The Pavilion is designed for companies that want to further explore or expand their position in France, connect with relevant partners, and contribute to the visibility of the Dutch cybersecurity ecosystem in Europe.
In 2026, the Dutch presence at Forum InCyber Europe focused on Cyber by Design. In 2027, the Pavilion will build on this foundation, with a stronger emphasis on cyber sovereignty, secure products by design, and deeper sharing of expertise and talent between the Netherlands and France, addressing both the challenges and opportunities of secure digital innovation in an increasingly autonomous and interconnected environment.
