EC3 Cyber Innovation Forum 2026

The EC3 Cyber Innovation Forum aims to foster collaboration, exchange cutting-edge insights, and identify transformative solutions to enhance EU law enforcement’s ability to prevent, detect, and investigate cybercrime.

A call for proposals earlier this year attracted numerous high-impact submissions. Selected authors will present their innovative projects during the conference, and the best proposal will be chosen and awarded. The selection will be done by a Europol jury and the attending audience.

Key highlights include:

• Expert presentations and live technology demonstrations
• Opportunities for cross-sector dialogue and networking
• The Forum will be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing for both onsite and online participation.

Participation is by invitation only and restricted to:

• Europol staff 
• Participants from: 
  • EU Member States and third countries with agreement with Europol 
  • Academia & research centres 
  • Private partners with agreements with Europol (members of Advisory Groups, MoUs, etc.)
  • EU bodies and agencies

Speakers

Law enforcement professionals, private sector, public sector and academia.
