On October 15-16, Berlin hosted an event from the SHARING CYBER 2025 series. The conference was organized by the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Poland and the Office of the Polish Defense Attaché in Berlin, under the honorary patronage of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
The conference was devoted to the development of dual-use technologies and strengthening Polish-German cooperation in the field of cybersecurity.
Deputy Director Dr. Justyna Adamska participated in the event as a representative of the Poznań Science and Technology Park. During the panel discussion “Dual-use technologies in cybersecurity. Cross-sector pathways for Polish–German cooperation” emphasized the role of science and technology parks and the importance of innovation ecosystems in the process of implementing modern solutions and testing dual-use technologies. She pointed out that although technology parks are not yet natural integrators of defense and innovation processes, they have the expertise, research infrastructure, and access to startups that make them valuable partners in developing innovative technologies.
To sum up the event, the most important message of the conference was to focus on implementation and effectiveness of actions. Participants emphasized the need to build resilient innovation ecosystems based on cooperation between public administration, science, and business.
Initiatives such as SHARING CYBER 2025 help shape the image of science and technology parks as natural integrators of the innovation process. Their active involvement in cooperation on digital security and the development of dual-use technologies is crucial for strengthening innovation and security in Poland and Europe.
