Sec-TA is a Ukrainian cybersecurity company reinforcing digital sovereignty and institutional trust. Its compliance-automation platform enables public institutions across 1/4 of Ukraine’s regions — including the Kyiv and Lviv regional administrations — to maintain transparent, resilient, and accountable digital governance.

Operating under constant hybrid pressure, Sec-TA strengthens democratic processes by protecting critical administrative systems from cyber disruption and attempts by authoritarian regimes to erode transparency.

Through full-cycle cybersecurity ecosystem and integrity-driven infrastructure, Sec-TA supports a nation defending its democratic future in real time.

This project is building a digital skills and opportunity platform for Georgian youth who are being pushed out of civic and educational space by new political restrictions.

It uses a digital ID–based marketplace to help young people build market-relevant skills and connect directly with global universities, peers, and companies looking for early talent and credible SDG/CSR impact, countering exclusion from the Foreign Agents law and education reforms.

The platform is designed as a non–state-controlled channel, giving urban and rural youth access to cross-border learning, early-career work, and networks they would otherwise be excluded from. By linking skills development directly to real opportunities and local engagement, the project supports youth participation in accountable municipal decision-making and strengthens democratic inclusion from the ground up.

FOI Security's RPG-like cybersecurity game transforms abstract privacy concepts into interactive scenarios where players experience real-world digital threats and see how their security choices directly impact what attackers can access and at what cost.

Rather than learning technical jargon, players build intuition through hands-on gameplay that demonstrates concrete consequences of encryption, password strength, and privacy settings. The game serves as an engaging, multilingual gateway to FOI Security's ecosystem—converting the text-heavy guide into accessible education that funnels users toward the full GUI apps and tools, with free personal use and paid organizational licensing.
