The Regional Minister for Economic Development and Infrastructures, Arantxa Tapia, and the Director of the Basque Cybersecurity Centre, Javier Diéguez, underlined the innovative profile of the Basque Country, its industrial character and its entrepreneurial and international vocation.
On March 1st, the director of the BCSC also presented the agents of the Basque Network of Science, Technology and Innovation that research on Cybersecurity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) -Tecnalia, Vicomtech, Ikerlan, BCAM, DeustoTech, Mondragon Unibertsitatea, UPV-EHU, Ceit, Tecnun and Innovalia- and presented some outstanding projects for the transfer of cybersecurity technology to strategic sectors of industry.
Both meetings are part of the actions that the BCSC is carrying out to consolidate the Basque Country as a European reference for cybersecurity and to position the Basque industrial and research ecosystem beyond its borders.
