It aims to do this by attracting and developing competencies and deep technologies to help mitigate the rapidly increasing cybersecurity risks in the region.

ICE71 programmes are designed to support cybersecurity individuals and startups from idea development to the creation, acceleration and scaling of cybersecurity startups.
