The initiative seeks cutting-edge proposals that address natural disaster preparedness, bolster defense against cyber and physical threats, and improve crisis communication strategies. Open to startups, SMEs, academic institutions, local authorities, and tourism organizations, the challenge emphasizes the need to safeguard Europe's position as the most visited region globally amidst growing environmental and geopolitical risks. Interested participants should submit their applications by October 31, 2025, to help shape the future of safe and sustainable travel.
