5th Forum on the Future of the European Union

GMV will take part in the 5th Forum on the Future of the European Union, to be held under the theme “European Security in a Changing World” in Madrid from November 20 to 22. The event will bring together representatives of institutions, agencies, and companies to tackle the main challenges facing Europe on an international stage shaped by technological transformation and evolving security threats.

The program combines plenary sessions with a range of breakout discussions on areas such as defence, economic sovereignty, geopolitics, technology, climate, and cybersecurity, all aimed at examining the challenges that will shape the future of European security and strategic autonomy.

As part of the forum, Mariano Benito, GMV’s Cybersecurity & Privacy Ambassador, will speak in the session ”Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure,” part of the track on Cybersecurity, Intelligence & Security Threats. The panel will address the challenges of protecting critical infrastructure and the role of cybersecurity in an increasingly complex and interconnected threat landscape.

Joining Benito on the panel will be Félix Barrio, Director General of the Spanish National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE); Vicente González Pedrós of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA); and Luis Miguel Vega Fidalgo of the European Commission.

The forum will give GMV the chance to share its expertise in cybersecurity and the protection of critical systems and infrastructure, areas essential to shoring up Europe’s resilience and security against the new risks posed by digitalization and the current geopolitical climate.

The session will take place on November 21 from 3 to 4 p.m. in Room 3, which is devoted to Cybersecurity, Intelligence & Security Threats.
