Prague, end of May. The GLOBSEC 2026 Forum, now in its 21st year, welcomed more than 2,000 participants, 270 speakers and a dense program of conversations on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital trust. European technology company a prophet We joined the forum as an official content partner and, for three days, we had the opportunity to listen, participate and reflect on the situation.
A shared sense of direction
What stood out the most was the lineup. Throughout the sessions and conversations, there was a shared understanding that Europe needs to move faster in technology, not just as a distant goal, but as a practical priority.
Which raises a question worth asking: what if much of the knowledge and capacity Europe needs already exists in the private sector? Companies have been creating solutions in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data infrastructure and very high-level business technology for years.
This points to two paths forward. One is to look at what companies have already developed and find ways to scale it, which is a considerably faster path. The other is to create new capabilities from scratch: a worthwhile investment, but one that will be very long. Where Europe is leaning is perhaps the most practical question on the table right now.

The composition of the forum mattered as much as the agenda. Big companies such as Microsoft, AWS, Google, Palo Alto Networks and HarrisX were in the room as participants in discussions about where European technology is heading. That combination of business scale and political thinking is exactly the environment where the aforementioned “faster path” becomes a real possibility rather than a topic of conversation.
One such discussion took shape in a parallel session co-hosted by Nebi, focused on artificial intelligence and the growing impact of deepfakes in today’s digital world. It brought together participants interested in trusted technology, responsible AI development, and the challenges created by synthetic media and misinformation.
And we all know that the tools to address these challenges already exist. What requires more work is the shared understanding between those who build them and those who need to implement or regulate them. That is the conversation we wanted to be a part of and we believe it deserves to continue well beyond the forum.
What we are recovering
We left Prague with something more specific than inspiration: a clearer picture of where the real willingness to act is and who the right people are to continue these conversations. The GLOBSEC Forum has a way of bringing that to light, partly because of the seniority and diversity of the people it brings together, and partly because three days of focused dialogue tends to clear things up faster than months of separate meetings.
For Nebi, that’s ultimately why participation made sense. Not just to be present at an important event, but to be part of the conversation that connects existing solutions with the people who can actually put them into practice. And if Europe chooses “the quickest path,” that kind of dialogue is where it begins.
