Description
We are excited to present our newest conference on Cyber Security, Markets, Infrastructure, and Cooperation, in close collaboration with Mr. Martin Lidegaard, the Danish Parliament, and the Israeli Embassy in Denmark – exclusively through CSCD’s Ambassadors Lounge. We will dive into Israel’s perspective as a cyber world leader, cyber connections in the World, and G2G cooperation with other countries, while our experts investigate the cyber markets and their needs, protection of critical infrastructure, the green agenda, and how all this relates to the current state of the World.
Cyber Security, Markets, Infrastructure, and Cooperation
Cyber markets and the direct following opportunities and threats are in rapid development around the globe. With the current situation worldwide, focus on cyber security and cyber infrastructure has never been more demanding or more vital for both protection and development.
It is not by chance that 40 percent of all private cyber investments in the World are invested, in absolute numbers, in Israeli companies, and that a third of the World’s unicorn cyber companies – private startups worth at least $1 billion – are Israeli. Today, cyber accounts for 15% of Israeli high-tech exports, which is about half of the total exports of the State of Israel, and it will only grow.
During the conference, 3 leading Israeli cyber experts will explain how Israel became a global powerhouse in an arena that shapes the future of mankind; They will give an expert view of how Israel became a leading country in the field relying on its strength in both security and technology; They will point out at how Israel was among the first to recognize the size and importance of the cyber revolution, the role of the Israeli army cyber units and conscripts in it and the speciality it acquired also in the maritime cyber protection area.
The conference will further go into depth with the following essential topics:
- Israel’s perspective as a cyber world leader, cyber connections with the World and G2G cooperation with other countries, the cyber market and its needs, protection of critical infrastructure, and the green agenda.
- Global cyber security and challenges: Cyber training in Israel and IDF, the development of the Israel eco-system, the advantage of Intelligence/HighTech conscripts, and the cyber market.
- Cyber security, lessons learned and export opportunities, government prioritization of future capacities and challenges in the Danish society and in the Maritime Sector.
All topics where good international relations and collaborations are crucial and of great interest, not only for Israel and Denmark but also for all EU Countries, non-EU Countries, and all involved stakeholders that are raising Cyber matters to be a top priority with high global interest. A well-developed diplomacy approach is therefore essential.
