Others

• Brainport Eindhoven: Regional economic development organization under which CWB operates. Comparable as the parent ecosystem and key strategic partner providing CWB access to the regional high-tech manufacturing network, funding channels and public profile.
• FME: Dutch employers' association for the technology industry. Directly comparable as both FME and CWB serve the Dutch high-tech manufacturing ecosystem and FME is a co-developer of CYRA alongside CWB and Metaalunie.
• Het CCV (Centrum voor Criminaliteitspreventie en Veiligheid): Dutch centre for crime prevention and safety that has taken over management of the CYRA cyber rating method from CWB and its partners. Comparable as the entity now responsible for operationalizing and scaling CYRA nationally, making it a direct successor/partner in the same methodology.
• Metaalunie: Dutch trade association for the metalworking and manufacturing SMB sector. Directly comparable as a co-developer of CYRA with CWB and FME, and as a stakeholder serving many of the same manufacturing SMBs that CWB targets for MKB Cyberassistentie.
• MKB-Nederland: Dutch SME employers' association representing SMB interests including digital security policy. Comparable as a Dutch member-based organization serving the SMB segment that CWB's MKB Cyberassistentie program targets with practical cybersecurity support.

Broad incumbents

• NCSC-NL (Nationaal Cyber Security Centrum): Dutch national cyber security centre providing threat intelligence, advisories and incident response coordination. Comparable as the upstream source of much of CWB's threat intelligence and as the broader national authority shaping Dutch cybersecurity policy that CWB operationalizes for the high-tech manufacturing sector.
• Digital Trust Center (DTC): Dutch government-backed initiative providing cybersecurity tools, information and a partnership network for SMBs. Comparable to CWB as both serve Dutch businesses with shared threat information and practical cybersecurity guidance, though DTC operates nationally and as a government program rather than a regional member foundation.

Direct peers

• ECP | Platform voor de InformatieSamenleving: Dutch independent platform coordinating public-private cooperation on digital security, identity and trust. Comparable as a Dutch non-profit community coordinating cybersecurity knowledge sharing between public and private stakeholders, similar in mission to CWB though operating nationally across multiple sectors.
• CIO Platform Nederland: Dutch membership community of CIOs and IT leaders sharing knowledge on digital strategy and security. Comparable as a Dutch member-based knowledge-sharing community for technology leaders, similar to CWB's closed community model, though with a broader enterprise CIO audience rather than a regional manufacturing focus.
• Samen Digitaal Veilig (SDV): Dutch partnership of IT service providers and government delivering cybersecurity support to SMBs. Directly comparable as a non-profit/PPP model focused on raising baseline cyber resilience among Dutch SMBs, similar in target audience and intent to CWB's MKB Cyberassistentie 2026 program.
