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.

Follow the inauguration online - December 4 at 12pm you may connect to watch the inauguration of the Swedish research and innovation node for cybersecurity. Push play to watch.

The node will be coordinated by RISE and aims to support Swedish industry, academia and the public sector. The node will create a strong network of actors, as well as build platforms for close dialogue and innovation.

The node will also gather and strengthen Swedish cyber security expertise for research and innovation. In the longer term, the node aims to strengthen Swedish competitiveness in a demanding international cyber security market, which is a necessity for a strong Swedish future industrial industry and exports in cyber security.

A warm welcome to attend our digital inauguration of the Swedish research and innovation node for cyber security.
