Cyber Accelerator

Since 2023, RIA has been running a cybersecurity accelerator programme in collaboration with the Tehnopol Startup Incubator, designed to help early-stage companies develop both their products and business models. Over seven months, participants receive mentorship from industry and cybersecurity experts, as well as up to 60 000 euros to advance their ideas.

We are looking for startups developing next-generation, state-of-the-art cybersecurity solutions. We especially welcome ideas focused on:

  • AI in cybersecurity
  • AI security
  • post-quantum cryptography
  • automation
  • threat intelligence analysis and forecasting

We are also open to other innovative ideas.

In 2026, we are highlighting the fight against fraud and social engineering as a key focus area and encourage participants to develop smart technical and organisational solutions to tackle it. If you have a strong idea, we want to hear from you!

Applications for the Cyber Accelerator are open from 13 April to 21 June 2026.
