The NOTIONES initiative, coordinated by TECNALIA, brings together a network of intelligence and security professionals, businesses, and academics with the objective of exchanging new and emerging technologies. Through the network, security solution providers get information about the needs and requirements of intelligence professionals.
The initiative spreads the word through organized workshops and conferences, the latest one being the Generative AI and other related challenges for LEAs, chosen to take place in Paris on 12th May 2023. These technological advances are also being adopted by actors like terrorists. Time constraints may not only hinder professionals from adapting these technologies but also create difficulties for them to define countermeasures quickly enough.
TECNALIA is a Spanish research and technology organisation that focuses on the invention and commercialization of technology, the development of smart cities, and the analysis of competitive intelligence. Founded in 1998 to help local companies innovate, TECNALIA now works in fields such as energy, mobility, cybersecurity, health, and industry 4.0.
