Cybersecurity for advanced industrial digitalisation

Closed on 1 July 2021 at 2PM

Vinnova opens a call for proposals to develop new cybersecurity solutions linked to the implementation of advanced digitization in the industry. The purpose is to prepare the industry for the cybersecurity challenges that arise when new technologies and working methods are introduced in the business. The digital structural transformation leads, among other things, to an increased dependence between organizations / systems, an increased flexibility in the development of software systems and a higher degree of autonomous processes. In this call we offer support for the development of technologies, processes and other aspects that are important for industrial cybersecurity.
