About this event

European Cyber Week (ECW) is the sovereign cyber and defence AI forum held each November in Rennes, organised by the Pôle d'Excellence Cyber. Over four days it brings together French and European cybersecurity and defence AI players: industry, researchers, start-ups, institutions and civil and military actors, around one goal, strengthening Europe's strategic autonomy and preparing tomorrow's cyber and AI capabilities.

Three programme pillars

The 2026 programme is structured around three themes.

Master: strategic dependencies and sovereign technologies
Accelerate: turning scientific excellence into operational capabilities
Resist: collective resilience against evolving cyber threats
