Thales Cyber@Station F is launching the 6th season of its startup acceleration programme, welcoming 7 promising startups. The new season started on May 11th, 2023 and will run for seven months.

Since its launch in 2017, Thales Cyber@Station F has helped more than 40 startups develop their activities in the field of cybersecurity. Operated by the Group's Digital Factory, the programme provides selected startups with privileged access to Thales resources, as well as an ecosystem of partners and clients. Startups also benefit from personalized coaching from Thales experts.

"Working with startups as part of the programme allows us to improve the differentiation of our offerings and maximize value creation for our clients by offering them cutting-edge solutions validated and integrated by Thales."
Guillaume Lerouge,
Programme Manager, Cyber@Station F

During season 5, which ended in late 2022, several promising collaborations were initiated: the development of an offline payment solution for central bank digital currencies between Secretarium and Thales DIS BPS, or the integration of Trout Software's investigation solution with the systems offered by Thales LAS AMS.

Théo Marcolini, Co-founder - Trout Software, offers his feedback: "The Cyber@Station F programme is a great example showing that collaboration between a large company and a startup is possible. This opportunity has been a real springboard for Trout Software, and we are very happy to continue our collaboration with Thales in 2023."

They will benefit from personalized support, with a particular focus on building joint value propositions with the Group's entities and connecting with potential clients. They are:
