CRACoWi recently participated in the Cluster Synergies Webinar held on 22 April 2026, an event that brought together EU-funded cybersecurity projects to exchange insights, present ongoing work, and explore areas of alignment.
While such events are often framed as dissemination activities, their real value lies in something deeper – connecting initiatives that are addressing the same regulatory and technical challenges from different angles.
As the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) moves closer to full implementation, the landscape of tools, methodologies, and support mechanisms across EU projects is rapidly expanding. Without active collaboration, this risks becoming fragmented. The Cluster Synergies Webinar is one of the spaces where this fragmentation can be addressed early – through open exchange, comparison of approaches, and identification of complementarities.
During the session, Pablo Endres (Seven Shift)and Sandra Bortek (Tiko Pro) presented the CRACoWi project, focusing on three key elements:
- The development of tools supporting CRA compliance
- The current progress and direction of the project
- The CRAcademy, which provides structured training and practical guidance to help organisations better understand and implement CRA requirements
The discussion confirmed a recurring point across projects: organisations are not lacking awareness of the CRA – they are lacking clarity on how to act. This is where coordinated efforts between projects become essential. Each initiative contributes a different piece – whether technical tools, training, certification support, or implementation guidance – and together they form a more complete ecosystem.
Engaging with other EU initiatives also opens the door to joint dissemination, shared learning, and potential integration of approaches, ultimately increasing the impact of all projects involved.
