Representatives of the Czech National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB) attended Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW) from 12 to 16 October 2026. The eleventh edition of this major Asia-Pacific cybersecurity platform brought together representatives of governments, international organisations, the expert community and the private sector. The Czech delegation’s programme focused on developing bilateral cooperation, protecting critical information infrastructure, addressing emerging technologies and strengthening international stability in cyberspace.
The NÚKIB delegation was led by the Agency’s Director, Lukáš Kintr, and also included Roman Pačka, Head of the Director’s Office, and Veronika Kolek Netolická, Cyber Attachée for the Indo-Pacific. During the conference, the Czech delegation met with representatives of partner countries in the Indo-Pacific and key institutions active in the field of cybersecurity. The bilateral meetings focused primarily on the protection of critical information infrastructure, emerging technological challenges and opportunities to further develop practical cooperation. The meetings also provided an opportunity to share national experiences, identify common priorities and discuss specific activities that could contribute to strengthening cyber resilience in the region.
A key part of the Czech programme was a side event organised by NÚKIB in cooperation with EU CyberNet, focusing on the identification of critical information infrastructure. The EU CyberNet project was established to strengthen the capacity of the EU and its partner countries to address cyber threats, build cyber resilience and counter cybercrime through knowledge sharing, training and capacity building. In Singapore, NÚKIB Director Lukáš Kintr presented the Czech experience and approach to identifying key systems and services whose disruption could have a major impact on the functioning of the state, the economy and society.
‘Singapore International Cyber Week is an important opportunity for us not only to present the Czech experience, but above all to engage in an open dialogue with partners facing similar challenges. The resilience of critical infrastructure, the impact of artificial intelligence and the emergence of quantum technologies all require trusted international cooperation. It is precisely these personal contacts and the practical exchange of experience that help us further develop this cooperation,’ said NÚKIB Director Lukáš Kintr.
Lukáš Kintr also contributed to the conference’s expert programme on the significance of quantum technologies for cybersecurity. In his remarks, he emphasised the need to prepare for technological change at an early stage and to plan for the long-term transition to solutions resilient to future quantum threats.
The programme also included participation in GovWare, a major technology and industry event held as part of SICW. NÚKIB supported the presentation of Czech cybersecurity companies during the Beer and Cyber networking evening. The event connected Czech companies with representatives of Singapore’s and the wider region’s cybersecurity ecosystem, providing an opportunity to establish new professional and business contacts.
During SICW, the delegation also took part in discussions on the future direction of international cooperation in cyberspace, including discussions on the UN Global Mechanism for the security of information and communications technologies. The programme in Singapore was subsequently followed by the Czech Republic’s participation in the sixth summit of the international Counter Ransomware Initiative (CRI), which focused on strengthening international coordination in the fight against ransomware.
NÚKIB’s participation in SICW 2026 also strengthened the Czech Republic’s visibility as an active and trusted partner in cybersecurity and contributed to the further development of cooperation with countries across the Indo-Pacific.
