Italian start-ups, innovative SMEs and institutions will participate together for the first time at the world’s premier conference and exhibition on cybersecurity: the San Francisco RSA Conference, to be held from 28 April to 1 May 2025 in San Francisco, California. The annual RSA event represents a global platform for discussion, gathering industry experts and major innovators; the 2024 edition of the event was attended by over 41,000 participants, 650 speakers, 600 exhibitors and 400 media representatives.
Participation in the 2025 edition is coordinated by the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the collaboration of the National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN), also in implementation of the National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan for 2022-2026. The Plan envisages, in measure #50, that the MAECI, MIMIT and ACN provide support for the internationalisation of Italian companies in the cyber sector. In this regard, last November the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs activated a coordinating round table involving MIMIT, ACN, and ICE, which brought together more than 80 representatives of Italy’s leading players in the cyber field.
In the RSA Conference, Italy will be provided with a 40 square metre space where companies will be able to hold B2B meetings on a rotating basis.
To take advantage of this opportunity, companies may apply for participation by 10 February as per the conditions described in the call published by ICE.
