CIBERMOV RETECH ARGOS SCALE CPICollaboration agreement for the bidding process for a Center of Excellence in Cybersecurity
On November 26, 2024, the Regional Government of Castile and León and the Valladolid City Council signed a collaboration agreement for the creation of a high-level Cybersecurity Center of Excellence. This is essential for launching an urban circuit for connected mobility vehicles. This will be strategic for the region and will allow automobile manufacturers to conduct benchmark tests in connectivity and associated high-level cybersecurity in a real-world environment.
Castile and León and Valladolid will thus become the leading demonstration environment for connected cars internationally, attracting automotive manufacturers with the aim of strengthening the innovation activities of vehicle manufacturers and the automotive auxiliary sector in the region.
The Institute for Business Competitiveness of Castile and León (ICECYL) conducted a technical study among the provincial capitals of the region to analyze the ideal location for this circuit, concluding that Valladolid meets the necessary traffic volume requirements to host an urban circuit for connected mobility vehicles.
