Dual-use technologies and their role in fostering cross-sector cooperation in cybersecurity

As part of the Road to the Polish Presidency initiative, organized in partnership with the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) and the Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs, we are proud to present the third report focusing on key challenges and opportunities in the realm of dual-use technologies. Developed with contributions from experts and supported by Deloitte, the report provides valuable insights into the future of technological innovation in Europe. 

The document explores the use of dual-use technologies, essential for security, economic progress, and technological sovereignty. It highlights regulatory hurdles, export controls, and the necessity for financial support and innovation in this sector.   

Key topics of the report:

  • The need for regulatory harmonization and enhanced international collaboration in export control.
  • Advanced cybersecurity mechanisms to safeguard technologies from misuse.
  • Flexible regulatory frameworks that accommodate the development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
  • A funding model integrating public, EU, and private resources to drive innovation.

This report is a significant step in strengthening Europe’s position as a leader in responsibly advancing and utilizing cutting-edge technologies.
