SHIELD4CROWD Project

The SHIELD4CROWD project has come to an end, but we’re back to recommend a new EU-funded project that will lay the groundwork for a future Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP). 🚗🚘 INTERCEPT Horizon Europe aims to prepare for the innovative procurement of advanced technologies for remote vehicle stopping by law enforcement. The project team includes several experienced partners, including members from our consortium such as Corvers Commercial & Legal Affairs, Polish Platform for Homeland Security, DigInnov - Digital Innovation Consulting, Ministerio del Interior, Ministerstvo vnútra Slovenskej republiky, and Ministère de l'Intérieur et des Outre-mer.

Every journey, even the most exciting, must come to an end. Today marks the final day of the #SHIELD4CROWD project implementation. 🎉 We’ve already summarised our efforts in laying the foundations for future PCP. Now, it’s time to say thank you to everyone who shaped SHIELD4CROWD! Our team can be proud of what we've achieved, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the involvement of many stakeholders, the User Observatory Group members, Public Buyers, and industry players who greatly contributed to the work and impacted the final results. 🙌 A big thank you to all who followed our online channels, interacted, and showed interest in the final outputs. Knowing that SHIELD4CROWD’s scope is important to you made our mission truly meaningful. 🫂 The past 12 months have been intense and the tasks quite challenging. However, everything was made easier by our wonderful team of experienced professionals coordinated by Armand Raudin and his team from Groupe SNCF. The entire Consortium cared deeply and worked tirelessly to deliver valuable outcomes. You did a great job. Thank you! Although the SHIELD4CROWD project concludes today, this isn’t the end. Future PCPs may emerge from this initiative, and there will be other PCP-related actions we recommend you follow. So instead of saying goodbye, let’s stay in touch! 🤝 #Innovation #PublicProcurement #Teamwork #FutureProjects #ThankYou Céline Lor | André Druet | Anne Nouvel | Hicham ALAOUI FDILI | Adeline Gleizal | Laura CAREL | Fanny Verilhac | Philippe Leclerc | Bérengère Augris | Jorge GARZON | Thierry Hartmann | Marie Giuliani | Youssef Bouali | Stephan Corvers | Ana Lucia Jaramillo | Matty van Sloten | Beatriz Gómez Fariñas, PhD | Katerina Nikolaidou | Egli Rrokaj | Azra Atalan | Abed El Majid Nasser | Nina Czyżewska | Przemyslaw Dobrzynski | Julia Szubert | Rashel Talukder | Jozef Kubinec | Martin Kostolný | Beáta Korpesio | Dr. Enrique Belda Esplugues

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃𝟒𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐃 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭! 🔐 Security challenges are a significant issue for urban areas across Europe. Despite the protection provided by security services and institutions, there is still a need for modern technologies tailored to their specific requirements. In the article linked below, we discuss how the Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) approach can assist public buyers in acquiring the right tools, support suppliers in developing these tools, and ultimately make our neighbourhoods safer. 📶 PCP is backed by the European Commission through funding projects like SHIELD4CROWD.

75% of EU citizens live in urban areas and they face increasing security challenges. Moreover, we still don’t have sufficient technological solutions. Is there any chance to change that? 🚓🏙️ Watch the video released by the SHIELD4CROWD Project to learn how this EU-funded initiative aims to respond to the challenge above using an innovative Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) approach. Also, you will be updated on the progress made by this great team which we are honoured to be a part of.

The lack of cutting-edge technologies has driven us to take action. SHIELD4CROWD is a one-year project aiming to lay the groundwork for a future Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP), where modern tools to tackle major security issues can be developed. However, before moving to the PCP phase, we had to understand the primary needs in the area of security tools. 🔒 We have made a concerted effort to define the technology use case and related security challenges, which will serve as a reference point for potential PCP activities. Today, we are excited to share with you the final use case and these challenges. 🎆 Visit our website for all the details: https://lnkd.in/dUB4iZAy 🌐 #SecurityInnovation #TechForGood #SHIELD4CROWD #SafetyFirst
