The Agentur f\u00fcr Innovation in der Cybersicherheit GmbH (Cyberagentur) and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) signed a memorandum of understanding at the FFG Forum 2026. It establishes a framework for closer collaboration on cybersecurity and key technologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

With this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the Cyberagentur and the FFG are establishing a common institutional framework for their continued cooperation. An MoU sets forth the goals and guiding principles of a partnership. Through this agreement, both organizations aim to deepen their professional exchange, strengthen the connections between their research and innovation ecosystems, and identify common themes and areas of overlap in key technologies and the funding of cybersecurity research at an early stage.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cCybersecurity and technological sovereignty do not end at national borders,\u201d says Bettina Bubnys, commercial managing director of the Cyberagentur. \u201cGermany and Austria have strong research and innovation ecosystems. Together with the FFG, we are linking these capabilities more systematically, thereby strengthening Europe\u2019s ability to act independently in the field of strategic technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

At the scientific level, the agreement is intended to intensify the exchange of information on technological developments, research needs, and appropriate research funding mechanisms. The focus is on how disruptive and security-related research can be identified earlier, networked across borders, and harnessed to ensure Europe\u2019s long-term technological sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cDisruptive research requires scientific excellence, but also collaboration across institutional and national boundaries. \u201cCollaboration with the FFG helps us identify relevant technological developments earlier, bring together complementary expertise, and develop new research questions with a European perspective,\u201d explains Prof. Dr. Christian Hummert, Research Director at the Cyberagentur.<\/p>\n\n

The FFG is Austria’s national agency for industry-oriented research and development. It links national programs with European and international activities, supports companies and research institutions, and, among other things, serves as the national contact point for Horizon Europe. The agency is owned by the Republic of Austria.<\/p>\n\n

The signing took place as part of the side event \u201cCybersecurity in Europe: A Key Issue for Research, Innovation, and Societal Resilience\u201d at the FFG Forum 2026 in the Libelle building at the MuseumsQuartier Vienna. The event format focuses on current threats, new technologies, and the importance of international cooperation for Europe\u2019s digital resilience. In 2026, the FFG Forum itself will be dedicated to the commercialization of key technologies and their ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n
