The event showcased innovative solutions and facilitated discussions on critical topics such as crisis preparedness, border management, resilient infrastructure and the fight against crime. A highlight of the event was the Security Innovation Award 2025, which honoured innovative projects that are shaping a safer future for Europe. The top award went to the CRIMSON solution, noted for its capability to secure public spaces and critical infrastructures against various threats.
