SUMMARY:European Cybersecurity Investment Platform
DESCRIPTION:(INITIATIVE) (INVESTMENT) \n\n\n\nECSO. “European Cybersecurity Investment Platform.” Accessed 14.08.2025. https://ecs-org.eu/activities/european-cybersecurity-investment-platform/. \n\n\n\nAbout the initiative\n\n\n\nThe European Cybersecurity Investment Platform (ECIP) is set to be a fund-of-funds mechanism proposed by ECSO as a response to the investment gap in the EU cybersecurity market. With a target size of at least €1 billion\, the ECIP aims to strengthen the competitiveness of our cybersecurity market and overall European strategic autonomy. \n\n\n\nSince 2016\, ECSO has been working with major private investors\, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Commission\, alerting on the need to increase investments allocated to cybersecurity. In 2020\, the Letter of Intentoutlining this proposal to the European Commission garnered the support of 49 prominent public and private stakeholders representing the European cybersecurity landscape. \n\n\n\nBuilding upon ECSO’s initiative\, the EIB European Investment Advisory Hub\, at the official request of the ECSO-Member Basque Cybersecurity Centre\, commenced a feasibility study in October 2021 to assess the market viability and potential structure of the ECIP. The study’s findings unequivocally confirmed the need for the creation of the ECIP. Discover in this page how ECSO continues working with the European cybersecurity ecosystem in concrete steps to establish the European Cybersecurity Investment Platform. \n\n\n\nObjectives\n\n\n\n\nStrengthen European cybersecurity market to attract and retain top talent\, develop critical competencies\, and ensure the strategic positioning of European solutions by enhancing investments in European cybersecurity start-ups and SMEs.\n\n\n\nSupport European start-ups to consolidate their operations\, scale up\, and expand their market presence by offering stronger growth-focused financing options\, particularly for Series A+. The ECIP is an opportunity to fund late stage companies and create European champions.\n\n\n\nStrengthen venture capital capabilities by investing in the existing or emerging European funds specialised in cybersecurity.\n\n\n\nCreate leverage effect and serve as an incentive among the LPs to invest bigger tickets into the funds by increasing trust in the cybersecurity market.\n\n\n\nStimulate the emergence of new venture capital funds and investment initiatives specialising in cybersecurity by promoting and strengthening the cybersecurity segment.\n\n\n\nSupport synergy creation in relevant R&D&I funding schemes across Europe.

SUMMARY:FAME: Federated decentralized trusted dAta Marketplace for Embedded finance
DESCRIPTION:(PROJECT) \n\n\n\nFAME. “FAME.” Accessed 13.08.2025. https://www.fame-horizon.eu. \n\n\n\nFAME is a joint effort of world-class experts in data management\, data technologies\, the data economy\, and digital finance\, aiming to develop and launch to the global market a unique\, trustworthy\, energy-efficient\, and secure federated data marketplace for Embedded Finance (EmFi). \n\n\n\n​The FAME project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2023 Research and Innovation Programe under grant agreement nª 101092639. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or Horizon Europe. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them. \n\n\n\nMarketplace\n\n\n\nThe FAME Federated Data Marketplace for Embedded Finance is a Data Space\, according to the definition of the EU\, customized for buying and selling federated data assets in the financial sector. \n\n\n\nAccessible through a unified entry point\, the Marketplace allows for secure data access\, sharing\, trading and analysis through FAME’s analytical tools for both finance and non-finance organizations\, tech and non-tech users\, and other end-users. \n\n\n\nWhy FAME?\n\n\n\nModern data marketplaces are transforming how data assets are shared\, traded\, and utilized. Recent European initiatives have made significant strides\, particularly in enhancing data monetization\, regulatory compliance\, and secure data exchange. However\, existing centralized marketplaces face challenges that limit broader participation and accessibility. Notable limitations include complex data discovery processes\, limited transparency in value-based data monetization\, and insufficient integration of trusted\, energy-efficient analytics. Addressing these gaps can unlock new data-driven applications in sectors like finance\, retail\, and smart cities\, empowering innovative services that seamlessly integrate financial data. That is where FAME comes in.
