EU Co-Finances Regional Cybersecurity Initiative in Saint-Martin
What happened
The European Union is co-financing a new regional cybersecurity initiative in Saint-Martin. This initiative will launch the Caribbean Cybersecurity Incident (C-CIRC) forum, scheduled for October 20–22. The forum aims to establish a common framework for Caribbean territories to coordinate responses and warn each other during cyberattacks.

Why it matters
The initiative addresses shared digital threats faced by public authorities, healthcare institutions, telecommunications operators, and businesses across the region. By creating a common framework, the project seeks to improve the uneven ability of Caribbean territories to respond to digital threats that ignore territorial borders.
Saint-Martin is actively seeking to strengthen economic and geopolitical ties with the broader Caribbean region.
