Welcome to the 2nd Annual Cybersecurity Startup Expo 2026
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd Annual Cybersecurity Startup Expo, taking place on 1st October, 2026 in Stockholm, Sweden.
Building on the strong foundation established during our inaugural event, this year’s Expo continues to serve as a premier platform for showcasing innovative cybersecurity startups and emerging companies from across the Nordic region and beyond. What began as an initiative to spotlight early-stage innovation has rapidly evolved into a recognised meeting point for the next generation of cybersecurity leaders, investors, and industry stakeholders.
Our Continued Mission
At its core, the Cybersecurity Startup Expo is dedicated to supporting startups at every stage of their journey—from early development to market expansion and beyond. Our objective is to provide a structured and impactful environment in which startups can present their solutions, engage with potential customers, and connect with the partners necessary to accelerate their growth.
In this context, the Expo is carefully structured to address the needs of two primary categories of startups: those seeking investment to support their development and scaling, and those preparing to enter the market and establish meaningful relationships with their first customers.
In 2026, we place an even stronger emphasis on facilitating high-quality connections—between startups and investors, founders and mentors, and innovation and market demand. The Expo is designed not only as a showcase, but as a platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and long-term value creation.
Programme Focus
This year’s programme highlights some of the most promising cybersecurity startups, complemented by a series of discussions addressing key themes shaping the industry, including:
- Securing funding across different stages of growth
- Navigating the transition from product development to market adoption
- The critical role of mentorship and advisory support
- Emerging trends influencing the cybersecurity landscape
We also continue to encourage active participation from mentors, advisors, and industry experts, whose insights are instrumental in helping startups navigate challenges, avoid common pitfalls, and achieve sustainable growth.
Looking Ahead
As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve at pace, the need for innovation, resilience, and collaboration has never been greater. The Cybersecurity Startup Expo remains committed to supporting the next generation of cybersecurity innovators and to contributing to the development of a secure and sustainable digital future.
We are honoured to host this year’s event and look forward to your participation in what promises to be an insightful and impactful gathering.
Sincerely,
Robert Kitunzi
Event Project Manager
