23 October 2025 | 13:00–14:00 CET | Microsoft Premises, Rue Montoyer 51, Red Room – Brussels
The GFCE Europe Regional Meeting 2025, hosted by the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) as part of Microsoft’s European Cyber Agora 2025, will focus on advancing supply-chain uplift as a key enabler of cyber resilience and sustainable digital growth in the Western Balkans.
Building on the outcomes of the GFCE Western Balkans Cyber Capacity Building Project, the meeting will explore how multinational companies, governments, and SMEs can collaborate to raise cybersecurity standards, foster certification readiness, and drive technology adoption across the region.
The meeting will feature key findings from the Western Balkans CCB Project, followed by an interactive dialogue where industry leaders and partners will share practical examples of public–private partnerships (PPPs), supplier-development initiatives, and scalable models for cross-border cooperation. Discussions will focus on opportunities for co-funding, mentoring, and innovation that strengthen regional cyber capacity and global supply-chain resilience.
The meeting will be conducted in English and hybrid format, held back-to-back with the European Cyber Agora 2025 in Brussels. This is an invite-only event; interested participants may reach out to contact@thegfce.org, indicating whether they wish to join in person or online, subject to space availability.
