Yes!Delft Programs for Cyber Security startups
Are you a startup developing cyber security technology and looking to validate your idea or accelerate your traction in the market? Join the Yes!Delft Cyber Security Program. Final registration date 8 April 2025.
Cyber threats are becoming more frequent and carry a greater sting than ever. AI is creating new attack possibilities, while ransomware — where hackers hold systems hostage for ransom — has returned with a vengeance after a relatively quiet 2022. Cybercriminals are getting bolder, attacking high-value targets such as banks, hospitals, public utilities and government agencies. (Source: https://sifted.eu/pro/briefings/cybersecurity-2024)
To counter these threats we are looking for startups with the ambition to make a difference!
About the programs
In a collaboration with InnovationQuarter & The Hague Municipality we have created special programs for cyber security startups.
You will take part in the regular YES!Delft Validation or the YES!DelftAcceleration program in Delft. In addition to our proven startup support you will receive support from renowned cyber security experts and companies. This will be in the form of 1-on-1 expert sessions and workshops.

The next Validation Program starts in May 2025, the next Accelerator starts in April 2025.
