Join Europol Industry and Research Days 2026!

Are you a private company, university, or research and technology institute developing cutting-edge solutions that could support law enforcement needs? The next edition of the Europol Industry and Research Days will take place on 25-26 February 2026 at the EuropoL Headquarters in The Hague. This is your opportunity to engage directly with practitioners and present your innovations in a high-level, collaborative setting.

The Europol Industry and Research Days provide a unique platform for collaboration and dialogue between law enforcement practitioners, private-sector innovators and the research community. This annual event is designed to foster knowledge exchange, showcase cutting-edge technologies and explore new solutions to tackle emerging security challenges.

Through these events, Europol aims to ensure that law enforcement across Europe stays ahead of technological developments, gaining not only access to new tools, but also the skills and insights needed to adapt investigative techniques in an evolving threat landscape. As part of Europol’s broader mission to strengthen partnerships with academia and the private sector, the Industry and Research Days create a transparent, fair, and collaborative environment for companies and research institutions to present their latest innovations directly to the law enforcement community.
