The National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest and Infosec Center signed a cooperation agreement during the Industry 4.0 Awards & Gala in Bucharest. The two organizations aim to explore new opportunities for collaboration in areas of mutual interest, including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and digitalization.
ICI Bucharest and Infosec Center have also collaborated within BSC AI Factory, a European project in which the institute is a partner.
