Cybersec Netherlands and Data Expo Join Forces Once Again

Data, AI and Cybersecurity Come Together Under One Roof

Following a successful first co-located edition, which welcomed more than 10,000 professionals to Jaarbeurs Utrecht, Cybersec Netherlands and Data Expo will once again join forces on 9 and 10 September. Together, the two events bring professionals from across the digital landscape together, offering a unique combination of knowledge sharing, innovation and networking opportunities.

One Visit, a Complete View of the Digital Landscape

The digital transformation of organisations continues to accelerate. Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace, data-driven decision-making is becoming increasingly important, while cyber threats and regulatory requirements continue to grow. As a result, the boundaries between data, AI, analytics, cloud and cybersecurity are becoming increasingly blurred. At Cybersec Netherlands and Data Expo, these disciplines come together under one roof.

For two days, Jaarbeurs Utrecht will be the meeting place for the latest developments in IT, data and digital security. Visitors will meet leading vendors, technology partners, industry experts and thought leaders who will share their vision on the opportunities and challenges shaping the digital future.

Key Topics

• Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI

Added Value for Visitors and Exhibitors

The collaboration enables visitors to discover the latest developments in data, AI and cybersecurity in a single visit. As these disciplines become increasingly interconnected, attendees benefit from a programme that demonstrates how organisations approach innovation, data, AI and cyber resilience as part of one integrated strategy. At Data Expo, Enexis will demonstrate how organisations can transform data into scalable data products that create real business value. Nationale-Nederlanden will share how agentic AI is being used to further automate claims processing, while addressing the organisational, technical and governance challenges involved. At Cybersec Netherlands, Member of the European Parliament Bart Groothuis will discuss the impact of AI, digital sovereignty and geopolitical developments in cybersecurity. Ferry Stelte, CISO at SIDN, will share practical insights into digital sovereignty and the strategic considerations behind migrating critical infrastructure to the public cloud.

Together, these sessions provide visitors with a comprehensive view of today’s digital landscape—from data strategy and AI innovation to cybersecurity and digital resilience. Exhibitors also benefit from this cross-sector collaboration. Organisations active in data, AI, cloud, analytics and security gain access to a broad audience of decision-makers, specialists and end users, all working to shape the digital future of their organisations.

A Proven Success
