Startups are often at the forefront of developing new technologies, yet many struggle to collaborate with or sell to large organisations. At the same time, established companies face increasing pressure to adopt innovative security solutions but often encounter barriers when engaging with young companies.

Why is collaboration between cybersecurity startups and large organisations still so difficult and how can we improve it?

This session brings together perspectives from the startup ecosystem and industry to explore the structural barriers that slow collaboration. The discussion will focus on how startups, large companies, and ecosystem actors can create more effective partnerships that accelerate cybersecurity innovation.
