Building sovereign cybersecurity: how Hadrian proves Dutch technology can lead globally (EN)
Description

Can the Netherlands build truly sovereign cybersecurity technology and still compete globally? Hadrian proves it can.

In this closing keynote, CEO Rogier Fischer shares how two Dutch hackers built an autonomous offensive security platform from the ground up, without foreign dependencies. It has since grown into a globally trusted platform used by enterprises and critical infrastructure worldwide. 

The session shows why sovereignty and competitiveness reinforce each other: owning the full technology stack increases trust, strengthens security and turns cybersecurity from a compliance cost into a strategic export opportunity. 

What you’ll gain 
• Insight into building sovereign cybersecurity technology in the Netherlands
• Understanding how full-stack ownership drives trust and global competitiveness
• Inspiration from Hadrian, a Dutch deep-tech success story in offensive security
