GMV demonstrates its commitment to European security at Security Research Event

On June 24th and 25th, GMV attended the 2025 edition of the Security Research Event (SRE), which was held in Warsaw, Poland. The company had its own stand at this gathering, which is organized by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs. The SRE has become a leading forum for discussing security-related threats and challenges, and for promoting the key role that research in the European Union (EU) can play in addressing them.

The theme of this year’s event was “Boosting security through EU‑based innovation”, and GMV contributed a presentation on the European project known as Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience (DRIVER+), which has the aim of strengthening Europe’s resilience in response to crises and emergencies. In addition, José Prieto, GMV’s Manager of Business Development and Institutional Relations for Defense and Security, took part in a high-level discussion panel entitled “Implementation Dialogue with Commissioner Brunner: Strengthening the EU’s security competitiveness and facilitating market uptake”. This session was moderated by the European Union’s Commissioner for Home Affairs, Magnus Brunner, and it addressed the challenges related to enhancing the competitiveness of the European security industry and encouraging market uptake for innovations.

The event also featured an exhibition area with live demonstrations and over 50 stands, and it concluded with a ceremony to present the Security Innovation Award, which recognizes cases of outstanding success in implementing EU‑funded solutions. This year’s award went to the DRIVER+ project, led by GMV, to recognize its contribution to Europe’s resilience when faced with crises and emergencies.
