The digital transformation of organizations is accelerating. Artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, data-driven work is becoming increasingly important, and at the same time, cyber threats and regulations are on the rise. As a result, the boundaries between data, AI, analytics, the cloud, and cybersecurity are blurring. At Cybersec Netherlands and Data Expo, these disciplines come together under one roof.
For two days, Jaarbeurs Utrecht will be dedicated to the most important developments in IT, data, and digital security. Visitors will meet leading vendors, technology partners, experts, and thought leaders who will share their perspectives on the opportunities and challenges of the digital future.

Added Value for Visitors and Exhibitors
This collaboration makes it possible to explore the latest developments in data, AI, and cybersecurity all in one visit. Precisely because these fields are becoming increasingly intertwined, visitors benefit from a program that demonstrates how organizations address innovation, data, AI, and digital resilience in an integrated manner.
For example, during Data Expo, Enexis will demonstrate how organizations can transform data into scalable data products that actually create value for the business. Nationale-Nederlanden will share how agentic AI is being used to further automate claims processing and the organizational, technical and governance challenges involved.
During Cybersec Netherlands, Member of the European Parliament Bart Groothuis will discuss the impact of AI, digital sovereignty, and geopolitical developments within cybersecurity. Ferry Stelte, CISO of SIDN, will share practical insights into digital sovereignty and the strategic considerations behind migrating critical infrastructure to the public cloud.
This provides visitors with a comprehensive view of the digital landscape: from data strategy and AI innovation to cybersecurity and digital resilience. Exhibitors also benefit from this cross-sector collaboration. Organizations active in the fields of data, AI, cloud, analytics, and security will meet a broad audience of decision-makers, specialists, and end users who are working together on the digital future of their organizations.
Proven Success
The first joint edition of Cybersec Netherlands and Data Expo demonstrated just how strong the connection between these two fields is. More than 10,000 professionals attended the events to gain knowledge, discover new solutions, and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges.
With themes such as AI, data-driven innovation, cyber resilience, and European digital developments, both events are building on that success this year.
