Join us on 11 and 12 December to
contribute to innovative solutions for border and coast guard functions. Frontex’s
next general Industry Days will put innovation in the spotlight to reflect the
core role of technology in European Integrated Border Management.
Frontex would like to invite industry
representatives to demonstrate how innovation could support border and coast
guard functions. Over the course of a two-day programme, up to 12 industry
representatives will present their latest approaches, technologies, and
solutions (whether already available on the market or under development), which
can benefit border management activities at the EU’s external borders
and within the EU area, in respect of EU regulations.
The first day of the event will have
a broad scope, it will be dedicated to innovative solutions in support
of law enforcement activities regarding border management.
The second day will focus on remote
sensing technologies for electromagnetic signatures recognition
and state-of-the-art sensors for surveillance purposes (land based,
shipborne, airborne, mobile, etc.).
These areas of focus should not be considered as exhaustive;
other technological solutions will be considered if relevant for border
management.
What are Industry Days?
Industry Days are a platform to
interact and engage with experts from the European Border and Coast Guard
community. The goal is to create a forum where participants can freely discuss
the proposed technological innovations.
The Industry Days will be held in
an online format which will host engaging presentations and dynamic
discussions, alongside an interactive digital exhibition platform. Each
participating entity will be granted a 40-minute slot; during this time a
presentation, Q&A session, and collaborative discussions will be held.
Who can participate and how to register?
If your organisation is at the
forefront of these transformative technological advancements and you wish to
present your innovation, we invite you to register.
Follow this registration link to sign-up for the upcoming Industry Days. Please provide an
overview of the technology you wish to showcase. Registration will be open
until 27 November.
Attendance is by invitation only;
more information will be communicated separately to the selected applicants.
Technological solutions must respect the legal limitations resulting from the
European Union data protection rules and human rights provisions.
How will the submissions be evaluated?
All submissions will be evaluated
internally, ensuring alignment with the needs of the European Border and Coast
Guard community while guaranteeing the fair and transparent treatment of all
participants. Every significant contribution will be displayed on our dedicated
online platform.
