Join Digital Twin Frontiers 2026

Frontex invites innovators to register to showcase their solution(s) at the Digital Twin Frontiers event, taking place on 17 September 2026 in Warsaw.

This event brings together senior representatives of EU institutions, Member State border authorities, industry leaders, investors, and academics around a single ambition: accelerating the development of Copernicus-powered digital twin capabilities for European border security.

Up to 15 companies will be selected to demonstrate their solutions and give a pitch of up to 5 minutes.

Does your solution fit?

We are particularly interested in technologies and solutions that contribute to the development of advanced sensing, data, simulation, and operational integration capabilities for border management. We welcome proposals in the following areas:

• Digital twin environments combining real-world data with live simulation
• Earth Observation and remote-sensing applications, including Copernicus downstream services, SAR, optical, hyperspectral data processing, RF detection and geospatial intelligence
• Novel sensing platforms and integrated systems (UAV, robots, ground sensors)
• Real-time data ingestion pipelines, continuous monitoring, and automated change detection
• AI-driven analytics, forecasting, pattern recognition, and resource optimisation
• Simulation, gaming, and scenario-modelling tools for mission rehearsal and crisis planning
• High-performance and emerging computing technologies supporting large-scale modelling
• Decision-support interfaces, dashboards, and operator tools tailored to border-management needs
• Secure data-governance frameworks and sovereign cloud architectures

Selection Process & Compliance

• Frontex will review all submissions based on innovation, operational relevance, technological maturity, and fit with the event’s subject.
• Selected companies will be notified and assigned a spotlight slot.
• Up to 15 companies will be selected; places are limited and awarded on the basis of quality and fit.
