Invest in Cyber

Invest in Cyber an international business partnering convention focused exclusively on cybersecurity investment, today announces that registration is open for innovative SMEs seeking funding. Interested candidates are invited to submit an application to present an elevator pitch to a panel of investors at the event, taking place November 24th 2016 in Rennes, France. It brings together top industry analysts, private investors and financial institutions, SMEs seeking funding, OEMs and end-users to create profitable business opportunities and to network.

SMEs looking for seed funding, development and later stage funding have until September 20th to submit their applications. Funding is used to further research and development, develop sales and marketing, enter a market and/or solidify business networks of emerging cybersecurity companies.

Cybersecurity experts, business and financial advisors will provide selected candidates with individualized coaching to enhance the delivery of the three to five minutes investment opportunity pitch. This professional coaching is one of the advantages of Invest in Cyber in getting candidates to focus on the market opportunity rather than the technology.
