Hub
Cyber & Security
Since cyber and security are boosting our economy, Systematic’s Cyber & Security Hub is committed to fostering the emergence of a dynamic and structuring an ecosystem which has both national and European scopes !
The Hub’s objective is to federate the entire Cyber & Security ecosystem (start-ups, SMEs, academics, large groups, institutions, investors). It aims to promote excellence in the sector’s strategic issues at regional, national, European and international levels, as well as at the sectoral, inter-clustering and Cyber Act scales.
- National sovereignty and defense
- Economy and technology
- Legal and regulatory aspects
- Cyber-physical systems
- Digital systems
Cyber and security are also real economic and societal challenges :
- Improvement and promotion of training which is adapted to the needs of industry
- Creation of a society that guarantees both individuals’ and companies’ rights
- Development of digital autonomy and of the digital sector
- Contributing into the development of a European digital sovereignty
The AID has joined the Cyber & Security Hub’s Steering Committee and is particularly engaged on key issues (incident response platform, advanced data encryption, better knowledge of threats, etc.).
Systematic collaborates with the AID on several programs, here are some examples :
- “Honeypot and Synapse” challenges
- Exchange of information on Defense roadmaps
- I-Naval project: sourcing of the Systematic’s Defense SMEs for meetings with military contractors
- Presentation of the EDIDP “Europe of Defense” project calls and sourcing within the Systematic’s ecosystem
- Acting as an adviser in economic development, education/training and about platforms in both cyber and security sectors.
- Maximizing collaborative R&D funding for the benefit of Deep Tech innovation in security
- Proposing the implementation of innovative collaborative secure platforms to develop the services of the future
- Publishing a Vision and Perspective 2025 document and developing a roadmap in line with it
- Regularly animating the ecosystem, in particular thanks to an annual major event
- Contributing to the development of the ecosystem’s security and training offers

Cyber & Security Data Science & AI Digital Infrastructure Drones Industrie & Services One Health Open Source Optics & Photonics TerritoiresThe Engage knowledge transfer network (KTN) aims to share the resources and findings of the SESAR research and innovation programme with a view to informing future fundamental research, as well as transferring results towards application-oriented work. The network will build on the work of its predecessor, which developed a number of instruments to facilitate knowledge transfer, including a knowledge hub, thematic challenges, catalyst funding and summer schools, to name but a few.
DEADLINE : 2 February 2026
HUB : Advanced Engineering & Computing
Cyber & Security Data Science & AI Drones Industrie & Services TerritoiresOpen Horizons proposes a novel approach towards covering the women-led companies funding and corporate network gap, by creating a full programme, from scratch, that relies in the work done by other initiatives (Women TechEU or Empowomen).
The consortium aims to invest 1.2M in startups and is comprised by an experienced consortium of partners as PEDAL (Reputed consultancy in EU projects also specialised in public procurement), SPLORO (experts on cascade funding) and INNOVX (EIC Partner and leading Accelerator).
Corporates are also linked to the proposal as partners like Migros (retail) or associated partners like Siemens Industry Software, Repsol (energy) and Stahl (Manufacturing) and planning to expand up to 10.
The projects structured approach includes identifying and formulating corporate challenges, inclusive talent scouting across Europe, and facilitating the funding and implementation of pilot projects within real-world corporate settings. Post-pilot, the programme focuses on expanding growth opportunities for startups by connecting them with investment channels and helping negotiate commercial agreements for long-term collaborations.
This comprehensive strategy not only provides a platform for women-led startups to showcase their innovations within major corporations but also integrates them into a broader corporate and innovation ecosystem, ensuring sustained growth and significant market presence.
