Invest4Cyber 2025: eCAPITAL Unites Global Cyber Leaders in Berlin
eCAPITAL NEWSOn June 4th, Berlin became the epicenter of Europe’s cybersecurity investment landscape. Just steps away from SuperVenture and SuperReturn, Invest4Cyber 2025, co-hosted by eCAPITAL, ECSO, and eurobits e.V., transformed The Dawn into a global stage for cyber innovation, strategic dialogue, and cross-border collaboration.
The invite-only event brought together leading LPs, GPs, and cyber visionaries from three continents. With over €200 billion in assets under management represented in the room, the evening was not only oversubscribed, but brimming with conversations that reflected the urgency and opportunity of securing Europe’s digital future.
The program featured high-caliber voices including Krzysztof Szubert, Member of the United Nations IGF Leadership Panel, and Patric Gresko, Head of Division at the European Investment Fund, who provided deep insight into the evolving role of public and private capital in European cybersecurity. Discussions ranged from closing the EU’s investment gap in cyber, to unlocking new frontiers in AI security and cyber resilience.
The message was clear: Europe’s digital resilience depends on courageous capital and collaboration across ecosystems, sectors, and borders.

Many of the entrepreneurs driving this next wave of cybersecurity are already part of the eCAPITAL portfolio – building at the intersection of deep tech and cybersecurity, underscoring the momentum behind a new generation of founders designing globally competitive solutions from Europe. The event also highlighted the growing strength of the cybersecurity investment community itself: investors, policymakers, and technologists united by shared conviction that European cyber sovereignty must be built, not assumed.
As momentum builds across Europe’s cyber ecosystem, eCAPITAL remains committed to supporting founders who combine technical excellence with strategic vision. Plans are already underway for Invest4Cyber 2026, set to return to Berlin next June.
