Advancing Europe’s digital resilience through research, innovation and cross-sector collaboration
16 June 2026 | Bucharest, Romania
The cybersecurity landscape is evolving at a pace that demands more than incremental adaptation. Europe faces growing threats to its critical infrastructure, persistent skills shortages, and a difficulty for industry players to keep up with the latest European certification frameworks. Meeting these challenges requires coordinated research, shared knowledge, and an innovation ecosystem capable of translating scientific findings into deployable solutions.
CYNERGY 2026 is 28DIGITAL’s flagship cybersecurity event, designed to do precisely that. Held on 16 June 2026 in Bucharest as a side event of the Bucharest Tech Week, CYNERGY brings together leading researchers, policymakers, industry actors, and innovation stakeholders in a single, high-quality forum dedicated to advancing Europe’s resilience in the cybersecurity domain.
This event is co-organised by 28DIGITAL and the COcyber project, funded by the European Union and supported by the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre.
What to expect
The programme features panels sessions, presentations, and interactive discussions on the key issues of cybersecurity, drawing on the expertise of a selection of cutting-edge cybersecurity research projects spanning European certification, threat detection, skills development, secure software, and civilian-defence coordination.
