The month of January was focused on cybersecurity. Backed early-on, we are glad to strengthen our support in Yogosha. The company has demonstrated the relevance of its strategic shift around its platform, which has already been successfully deployed with several major accounts.

The beginning of the year is also about the FIC (International Cybersecurity Forum), the number one event in Europe for IT security, where our three cybersecurity startups have been under the spotlight three years in a row winning awards in 2018 for Alsid, 2019 for Yogosha and 2020 for Citalid. It shows the role and how strong our portfolio companies have become since our first move in the cybersecurity back in 2017.
