New industrial value chain for Safe, sECure and Resilient cIties and Territories

Project description

Technological solutions to secure the security sector

The security sector is evolving and permanently integrating new disruptive technologies in a rather fragmented framework. Through a sustainable approach, the EU-funded SecurIT project aims to create a new global competitive security industrial value chain by improving the integration of innovative security systems, as well as the integration of privacy and security with respect to ethics, legal and social challenges. This objective will also address global safety, resilience, security and cybersecurity in the context of safe public spaces, territories and critical infrastructures. SecurIT will support the development of 60+ collaborative projects allowing prototyping and experimentation of top-notch technological solutions, reaching over 120 SMEs and providing more than EUR 3.5 million of Financial Support for Third Parties, FTSP.

Objective

"The security sector is considerably evolving, by adapting the offer to the risk and threats and by permanently aggregating emerging innovations. The digital is disrupting this industry, by adding new capacities and new threats. The security sector is very fragmented. SecurIT aims to create a new global competitive security industrial (product & service) value chain by supporting a better integration of innovative security systems, with a cross-sectoral and European approach, to support the time to market optimization, the integration of privacy and security by design at all steps of maturity, with a cross-border collaboration between SMEs and other RDI actors.

This vision is supported by a 4 step-approach:

#1: : Analysis of the demand-side, mobilizing 40 integrators/end-users to identify their needs and 42 potential demonstrators including major actors as large industry, cities, critical infrastructures operators that will join SecurIT as user group, experiment hosting or supportive partners (26 support letters in annex - AIRBUS, THALES, ATOS, COESS, ECSO, cities, EEN etc.).

#2&3: Involving supply sides (SMEs), aiming to get 300 EoI to participate in SecurIT and attracting +1000 SMEs to get part through outreach actions (15 letters of SMEs in annex).

#4: Select and Support 63 innovation projects involving 126 SMEs with over 3,5M€ of FSTP through 2 Instruments of support from TRL5 to TRL9 (Prototyping and Demonstration/Pilot), and +700K€ in services provided by partners. Highquality experts will be involved in the SMEs selection process.

The consortium is as a whole, with 7 Security and complementary Clusters from France, Belgium, Lithuania, The
Netherlands and Denmark, coming from most relevant security / cybersecurity Regional Innovation Hubs in Europe, and the SecurIT partners have experience in open call management at national and european level.
