  • Key technologies include Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for predictive analytics and threat detection, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for perimeter security, and Advanced Biometrics for identity verification
  • Other emerging technologies like Autonomous Systems, Cybersecurity solutions, Data Analytics and blockchain-based platforms to secure and verify the authenticity


What’s in it for you?

  • Deliver a short presentation about your latest technological developments and state-of-the-art solutions.
  • Register your innovative solutions on an interactive digital exhibition platform.
  • Connect with the European Border and Coast Guard community composed of Frontex experts and Member States’ border guard authorities.
