Issues related to cybersecurity are constantly evolving, and the threat landscape is changing faster than ever. Here, UIC sees significant value in the partnership with Microsoft, whose global network works closely with European institutions to detect and prevent advanced cyberattacks and map digital threats in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cWe are building our capabilities to support startups in more complex and hard-to-navigate sectors, where requirements around data management and cybersecurity are high.

Through industry partnerships, UIC aims to create even better conditions for startups to grow, scale, and reach new markets\u2014through close collaboration with established industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>A key part of UIC\u2019s success is its collaboration with experienced external partners from the local business community. These partners share their expertise within UIC\u2019s business development programs and offer UIC companies services at favorable terms, including software development, legal services, finance, design, patents, and more. The purpose of the new industry partnership model is to expand this network further, giving startups and growth companies even faster access to global expertise, networks, and markets.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information:<\/strong><br>Vedrana Ilic, Communications Manager, UIC<br>E-post: <a href=\"mailto:vedrana.ilic@uic.se\">vedrana.ilic@uic.se<\/a><br>Tel: 070-851\u00a097 04<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Linda Haglund, Head of Communications, Microsoft AB<br>E-post: <a href=\"mailto:lindahaglund@microsoft.com\">lindahaglund@microsoft.com<\/a><br>Tel: 072-210 32 76<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Microsoft<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft (Nasdaq \u201cMSFT\u201d @microsoft) creates AI-powered platforms and tools to deliver innovative solutions that meet customers\u2019 evolving needs.
