The inauguration of the Swedish research and innovation node for cyber security
Sweden is high in the world rankings when it comes to digitalisation, but does not have the same position when it comes to cyber security. To support development in business and the public sector, VINNOVA and RISE have initiated a national node, with the aim of accelerating Swedish innovation and research in cyber security.
