The fund invests in European startups and scale-ups addressing national and economic security, software supply-chain protection, cloud-infrastructure security and privacy-tech, often leveraging AI. EIB Group Vice-President Robert de Groot framed the deal as "securing Europe's future in a rapidly changing digital world," explicitly tying it to compliance pressure from NIS2, the Cybersecurity Act and DORA driving demand for European-sourced cybersecurity capability.
