13 May 09:00-17:00Epicenter Stockholm

POLISH-SWEDISH CYBERSECURITY CONFERENCE

Polish Investment & Trade Agency (PAIH) and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Stockholm, together with our partners — the Swedish-Polish Chamber of Commerce, Cyber Made in Poland and Epicenter Stockholm — have the pleasure of inviting you to a full-day forum that will gather experts, institutions and companies from both countries to explore real-world cyber threats, critical-infrastructure resilience, dual-use innovation and defence preparedness. The day concludes with a live technology showcase and the CyberConnect Networking Reception.

Why now?

Both Poland and Sweden are facing a sharp uptick in hostile cyber activity: state-sponsored espionage, election interference, supply-chain manipulation and probes against energy, transport and defense networks. With Russia’s war on Ukraine reshaping the security map, cross-border collaboration and dual-use innovation are more critical than ever. This conference provides a dedicated platform to share intelligence, showcase practical technologies and forge joint responses that strengthen the resilience of our economies and societies.
