What Campus Cyber does

Campus Cyber is a France-based, state-initiated cybersecurity hub inaugurated in 2022, operating from a purpose-built physical campus at 5-7 rue Bellini in the La Défense business district of Puteaux. It serves as the national "lieu totem" (flagship location) for cybersecurity, aggregating over 250 entities — including large corporations, SMEs, government agencies, research institutions, training organizations, and associations — and engaging more than 1,800 cybersecurity experts. Its mission is to federate the French cybersecurity community, develop public-private synergies, and address structural challenges including the cybersecurity talent shortage and ecosystem fragmentation.

The organization operates a dual physical-digital model. The core offering is the La Défense campus, which provides shared workspaces, event spaces, and hosting services to member organizations. Digitally, Campus Cyber Evolution (evolution.campuscyber.fr) extends reach nationally as an orientation and employment platform featuring a training search engine, a cybersecurity job board, and career resources. Supporting programs include TalCyb (a talent development initiative backed by France 2030 funding with 13 partners including Inria and Opco Atlas), Cybiah (SME-focused cybersecurity actions), and Le Studio des Communs (collaborative development of shared cybersecurity resources).

Campus Cyber's revenue model is not publicly disclosed but is inferred to combine public funding (France 2030, ANR support), recurring membership and hosting fees from the 250+ member entities, and event space and service revenues. The organization is led by President Michel Van Den Berghe and Communication Director Delphine Perez, with a lean core team of 11-50 employees. It holds a registered INPI trademark and operates with a hybrid segmentation approach across enterprise, SME, government, and individual career-seeker audiences. The entity is structured as a private organization under a state-initiated mandate rather than a traditional venture-backed or publicly traded company.

• EC-Council: Provider of widely recognized cybersecurity certifications (CEH, CHFI) and training programs. Comparable to Campus Cyber's training aggregation and certification pathway role via the Evolution platform and TalCyb program.
• Station F: Largest startup campus in the world, also based in Paris, offering physical workspace, programming, and ecosystem convening. Highly comparable physical-hub business model and member-driven community approach in the same city.
• (ISC)²: International nonprofit association of certified cybersecurity professionals (CISSP, CCSP) running training, credentialing, and community programs. Closely mirrors Campus Cyber's role as a national professional community and credentialing hub.

Others

Regional players

Operates in the same domestic ecosystem as Campus Cyber and is a natural counterpart in policy and standards.
