Smart Secure Innovations Programmes

Digital technologies are transforming our cities, energy systems, public services and security domains. This creates opportunities for innovation, but also increases the need for digital security, resilience and trust. Through our Smart Secure innovation programmes, HSD brings together businesses, governments and knowledge institutions to develop and apply secure digital solutions. The programme consists of four interconnected areas: Smart Secure Cities, Smart Secure Grids & Energy Transition, Smart Justice & Security, and Smart Secure Defence & Resilience. By connecting innovation, cybersecurity and real-world application, we accelerate technological development, strengthen digital resilience, and contribute to a future-proof and competitive Dutch economy.
