Results
Throughout the project, ENACT will produce several reports, outcomes and products that aim to give back the knowledge generated to the FCT community. Where these results can be made public, they are shared below.
Flash Reports
ENACT will produce on-demand flash reports. Read the first of these reports below.
1st ENACT Flash Report – Security Market Overview: Trends & Insights from the SICUR Exhibition
Read the report: Security Market Overview: Trends & Insights from the SICUR Exhibition
This first Flash Report provides an overview of the Salón Internacional de la Seguridad (SICUR) international exhibition for Security in Spain. The fair, which takes place every two years, brings together companies, associations, professionals and users of global security in the public and private spheres in Madrid.
This report maps the exhibitors at SICUR to the technology domain, policy domain and the FCT functions of the EU Security Market Taxonomy. The main analysis shows that cybersecurity was widely addressed at the conference, showing the high interest of the security community in the protection of information systems. Furthermore, the high interest shown during SICUR for protection against CBRN incidents and for personal and other equipment also indicates the importance given by the community for the safety and protection of LEA first responders.

2nd ENACT Flash Report – Security Market Overview: TECHNOSEC & DRONExpo Event
Read the report: Security Market Overview: TECNOSEC & DRONExpo Event
This second Flash Report provides an overview of the TECNOSEC and DRONExpo events in Spain. TECNOSEC is the premier professional forum for police, intelligence and security technologies. TECNOSEC serves as a focal point for major security stakeholders by facilitating the exchange of knowledge and trends, presenting practical works and products tailored for security and intelligence bodies and critical infrastructures.
This report maps the exhibitors at TECNOSEC and DRONExpo to the technology domain, policy domain and the FCT functions of the EU Security Market Taxonomy. The main analysis shows that monitoring and surveillance technologies were particularly prominent amongst the exhibitors. Meanwhile, the conference sessions at the event showed a clear focus in the areas of mobility and deployability, as well as secure and public communication, data and information exchange functions.

3rd ENACT Flash Report – EUROSATORY 2024 Security & Defence Event
Read the report: EUROSATORY 2024 Security & Defence Event
This third ENACT Flash Report provides an overview of the EUROSATORY Security and Defence event that took place in June 2024 in Paris. EUROSATORY is the global land and air benchmark event for Defence and Security professionals gathering over 2,000 exhibitors from 61 countries, 120 conferences and over 40,000 visitors. The event is organised by the Group of French Industries for Land and Air-Land Defence and Security (GICAT), an association gathering more than 300 large groups, small-medium enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups.
Similarly to other security events, such as SICUR, TECNOSEC and DRONEXPO, which ENACT actively tracks to produce flash reports, the scale of the EUROSATORY event fosters worldwide cooperation and attracts significant investments from governments and industries. This report discusses how the event offers a platform for smaller businesses and research centres to showcase innovative solutions and underscores Europe’s leadership in security innovation, addressing both European and global D&S needs.

Advanced In-Depth Expert Reports
ENACT will produce both internal analytical reports and commission external advanced expert reports on specific topics.
External Expert Reports
ENACT will commission experts to produce in-depth expert reports on specific and emerging topics. These reports will be published below.
ENACT Analytical Reports
Periodically, ENACT will share expert reports created by our internal experts on key topics surrounding the FCT ecosystem.
1st ENACT Analytical Report – FCT R&I: An analysis of EU priorities 2014 – 2024
Read the report: FCT R&I: An analysis of EU priorities 2014- 2024
This first ENACT analytical report presents an analytical exercise carried out on the Research and Innovation (R&I) priorities set by the European Commission for the Fight against Crime and Terrorism (FCT) between 2014 and 2024. These priorities have been identified by classifying the focus of 76 FCT research topics and subtopics according to the EU Security Taxonomy developed by the Commission under the EU Security Market Study released in 2021.
The way in which the different taxonomy items appear reflected in the FCT research topics along the 10 years of study show an uneven distribution of priorities along the different areas of interest, both in the policy and in the functions dimensions. In the policy dimension, the analysis shows the emphasis put by the Commission services in the research against Economic crime, corruption and fraud, against the Trafficking of humans and goods and, notably against Illegal markets in the dark web. Regarding the Functions dimension, those which appear among the most frequent research needs are Investigation & Forensics, and Data, information & intelligence gathering management, and exploitation. Finally, in what regards technology, and despite EU-funded security research being mostly non-prescriptive in terms of the typology of technolgies to be employed to address the posed challenges, Internet-based investigation technologies and Data analytics technologies are the most frequently referenced ones.
This analysis constitutes a starting reference base for the work to be carried out by the ENACT network during the coming months and opens the door to answering other research questions that are relevant to support EU policy-makers in the drafting of future FCT R&I priorities.
Stakeholder Map and Network
ENACT will produce a stakeholder and map for the FCT domain. The first version of the Stakeholder Map is available as an explorable dashabord.
