Welcome to the France vs. UAE Cybersecurity Hackathon!

As digital transformation accelerates across the globe, safeguarding critical infrastructure, cloud environments, AI models, and sovereign networks against emerging cyber threats has never been more vital.

This international hackathon brings together elite cyber professionals, ethical hackers, researchers, developers, and students from France and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to collaborate, innovate, and develop cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions.

Whether you are building next-generation AI threat-detection tools, secure cryptographic frameworks, sovereign cloud security architectures, or industrial control system (ICS/SCADA) defenses, this is your platform to show your skills on a global stage.

Event Highlights:

  • Cross-Border Collaboration: Network and team up with experts across France and the UAE.

  • Real-World Challenges: Solve critical security problems facing modern enterprises and nation-states.

  • Mentorship & Networking: Connect with industry leaders, cybersecurity experts, and sponsors from both nations.

  • Prizes & Recognition: Compete for top prizes and pitch your solution to prominent investors and tech leaders.
