Introduction to the Civil Shield Forum 2025 in Vilnius
On March 10, 2025, one of the most significant events in Central and Eastern Europe will take place in Vilnius – the Civil Shield Forum, which will focus on key issues related to civil and border protection. This forum is a response to the growing need for cooperation between the Baltic States and Poland in these areas, considering the challenges both countries face. It is a unique opportunity to jointly create stronger protection mechanisms, not only at the state level but also in the private sector.
Public-Private Sector Collaboration for Enhanced Security
During this event, organized by InLinum and the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, cooperation between the public and private sectors will be encouraged, with representatives from governments, embassies, experts, and companies from Lithuania, Poland, and other countries that work daily on security issues. Participation in the Civil Shield Forum is an excellent opportunity to share experience, present innovative products and services, and establish new, valuable connections.
Modern Challenges in Civil and Border Protection
Modern challenges in civil and border protection, such as the increasing threat of cyberattacks and geopolitical instability, are forcing Poland and Lithuania to cooperate more closely. Both countries, located at the EU’s borders, face common threats, both internal and external. Strong cooperation in the fields of cybersecurity, border protection, and crisis management will provide the foundation to enhance security in both countries. Lithuania, being one of the pioneers in the region in the field of cybersecurity, adopted an amendment to the Cybersecurity Law on October 18, 2024, further strengthening cooperation with Poland. The new provisions, which implement European Union directives, aim to enhance the critical infrastructure protection system and ensure better cooperation with neighboring countries in combating cyber threats.
The Civil Shield Forum as a Platform for Crisis Management and Border Protection Strategies
In this context, the Civil Shield Forum becomes a crucial event, allowing both Lithuania and Poland to present their crisis management experiences and discuss joint strategies for border protection and risk management.
Key Topics and Agenda of the Civil Shield Forum
The Civil Shield Forum is a place where security industry leaders will meet to discuss challenges and solutions that will help protect citizens and borders in both the Baltic States and Poland. The event’s agenda will cover topics such as civil security, including public preparedness for crisis situations, the application of modern technologies such as drones, and communication strategies in the event of a threat. An important topic will also be border protection, addressing challenges at the border entrances, particularly considering the increasing volume of illegal migration, as well as the application of cybersecurity in border protection. Funding opportunities for security-related projects, especially those implemented on the basis of international cooperation, including collaboration between Poland and Lithuania, will also be discussed.
Networking and Business Opportunities at the Forum
The Civil Shield Forum offers a unique opportunity to expand your network, meet key partners from businesses, government institutions, and embassies. Participants will be able to present their solutions and security products to the international market, and the connections made during the forum may open doors to new contracts, projects, and cooperation initiatives. This event is more than just a conference. It is a space for the birth of new ideas, the exchange of valuable knowledge, and the strengthening of long-term relationships between Lithuania and Poland in the security sector. Participation in the Civil Shield Forum is an investment in the future, allowing you to learn about the latest trends, technologies, and strategies that will help ensure security in crisis situations and border protection.
