The place to be: security pitches & Capture the Flag at the Mainstage
The first day of Cybersec Europe concludes with a vibrant and informal programme centred around the main stage—the place to be to close the day
A platform for innovation
As the exhibition day draws to a close, the Mainstage area transforms into a lively hub where the focus is on entrepreneurship, innovation, and community. Two Security Pitch Rounds take place in an accessible and energetic setting:
– Best Security Innovation
– Best Security Project & Program
These Security Pitches, delivered by promising cybersecurity startups and professionals, provide valuable insights into the future of tech and security. A dedicated security expert jury will engage with the pitchers through sharp, content-driven questions—highlighting the real-world relevance of their work.
Capture the Flag: showcasing young cyber talent
Running simultaneously—and just next to the pitch zone—Capture the Flag (CTF) brings a different kind of energy to the space. Ambitious students and young professionals team up to solve technical cybersecurity challenges in real time.
The CTF is actively supported by Benchlabs, Telenet, Agoria, and Howest. Updates on the competition standings will be shared from the Mainstage throughout the event, and the winners will be announced at the end of the session.
A social closing with drinks
From late afternoon into the early evening, the Mainstage becomes more than just a content stage—it turns into a meeting point. With drinks and informal networking until 20:00, this is the ideal moment to reconnect with peers, meet new people, and reflect on the day in a relaxed atmosphere.
With its mix of startups, young talent, innovation and community, the Mainstage at the end of Day 1 offers a setting that is informal, inspiring and full of energy. Whether you’re there to support a pitch, watch Capture the Flag, or simply wind down with a drink—this is where the Cybersec Europe experience continues.
