What is it about?

The digital society is changing rapidly:
Cyberattacks, AI transformation, hybrid infrastructure threats, and increasing data dependency are placing new demands on innovation.

The SIBB Incubator supports early-stage startups that:


  • Strengthening cyber resilience

  • develop trustworthy AI

  • advancing key digital technologies

  • Creating solutions for a livable digital future


Important: You don’t have to be a startup focused solely on cybersecurity or AI. We’re looking for bold founders who want to bring technologies to market safely and responsibly.



We are looking for founding teams who want to develop a scalable business model based on their expertise and want to enter the market.
