With a target size of at least&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac1 billion<\/strong>, the ECIP aims to strengthen the<strong>&nbsp;competitiveness<\/strong>&nbsp;of our cybersecurity market and overall&nbsp;<strong>European strategic autonomy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2016, ECSO has been working with major private investors, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eib.org\/en\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Investment Bank (EIB)<\/a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/index_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Commission<\/a>, alerting on the need to increase investments allocated to cybersecurity. In 2020, the&nbsp;<strong>Letter of Intent<\/strong>outlining this proposal to the European Commission garnered the support of 49 prominent&nbsp;<strong>public and private stakeholders<\/strong>&nbsp;representing the European cybersecurity landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building upon ECSO\u2019s initiative, the EIB European Investment Advisory Hub, at the official request of the ECSO-Member&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ciberseguridad.eus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Basque Cybersecurity Centre<\/a>, commenced a&nbsp;<strong>feasibility study<\/strong>&nbsp;in October 2021 to assess the market viability and potential structure of the ECIP. The study\u2019s findings unequivocally confirmed the&nbsp;<strong>need for the creation of the ECIP<\/strong>. Discover in this page how ECSO continues working with the European cybersecurity ecosystem in concrete steps to establish the European Cybersecurity Investment Platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Objectives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Strengthen European cybersecurity market<\/strong>&nbsp;to attract and retain top talent, develop critical competencies, and ensure the strategic positioning of European solutions by enhancing investments\u202fin European cybersecurity start-ups and SMEs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support European start-ups<\/strong>&nbsp;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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strengthen venture capital capabilities<\/strong>&nbsp;by investing in the existing or emerging European funds specialised in cybersecurity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create leverage effect<\/strong>&nbsp;and serve as an incentive among the LPs to invest bigger tickets into the funds by increasing trust in the cybersecurity market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stimulate the emergence&nbsp;<\/strong>of new&nbsp;<strong>venture capital funds<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>investment
