The French clusters SCS, SAFE and Systematic have been awarded by the AFPC for their collaboration on the SecurIT project !
In September, SCS, together with the two other French cluster partners SAFE and Systematic, won the award "Les Pôles pour l'Europe" in the "Best Collaborative Initiative" category for their joint work on the European cascade funding project SecurIT, funded under the HORIZON 2020 INNOSUP programme. The prize was awarded by the French Association of Pôles de Compétitivité (AFPC) during the C2Labs event organised in collaboration with the ECCP on 25-26 September 2024 in Strasbourg, France.
This award is a great recognition of the collaboration between the three French clusters of the SecurIT consortium, that have worked to facilitate the development of SMEs and support the expansion of innovation projects. Of course, the credit for SecurIT's success goes to all the other consortium partners: CenSec, HSD, LSEC, L3CE and FundingBox.
The AFPC prize also celebrates the impact the SecurIT project has had on the European security market. Through two open calls, the project has funded and supported 42 SME-led projects across Europe, all working on the development of innovative digital security solutions for safer and more resilient cities and territories.
The SecurIT project ended on 31/08/2024, but you can still read about the project achievements and all the funded projects on the SecurIT website.
