About the ECSO STARtup Award

The ECSO STARtup Award has been awarded annually since 2020 to the most promising European cybersecurity start-ups, aiming to provide small European cybersecurity companies with opportunities to gain visibility, investments, and business connections at a European level.

The finalists taking part in this year’s competition have been selected throughout 2024 by expert Judging Panels from different European cybersecurity events, including ECSO’s Cyber Investor Days and the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre’s (ECCC) Access-2-Finance Matchmaking Events.

These companies will take the stage one last time to deliver their final pitches. A Judging Panel consisting of experts in investments, entrepreneurship, and the European cybersecurity market will assess their presentations and select one winner.

This is the perfect opportunity for European investors and integrators to discover up-and-coming European cybersecurity companies in a curated setting.

• Attic Security (The Netherlands)
