Proyecto CIBER-SHUBE

Startup OLÉ LATAM Roadshow will also be the first CIBER-SHUBE Startup OLÉ Latam/USA Roadshow event. This project is framed within the activities of CID 245 of the PRTR, an indicator set by the European Commission ("Implementation of the National Cybersecurity Industry Support Programme, the Global Security Innovation Programme and related actions"). Specifically, through the development of high added value solutions and services in the field of cybersecurity; and training and development of specialised talent in the field of cybersecurity.

To this end, CIBERSECURITY SPAIN HUB ESPAÑA (CIBER-SHUBE) defines, through a transnational project, a set of activities in the fields of Cybersecurity, Innovation and Technological Entrepreneurship to promote reforms that help and accelerate the economic and social recovery of Spain, with support from the funds of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and the Digital Spain 2026 agenda, focusing on five transversal axes, such as job creation, ecological transition, social and territorial cohesion, digitalisation and gender equality. Based on this, one of the objectives of CIBER-SHUBE is to promote the development of the cybersecurity culture, as well as to support the creation of new companies, the internationalisation of consolidated startups with high potential, the promotion of innovation and the attraction of investment, all in the field of cybersecurity.
