As part of the Czech President’s state visit to Estonia, a business delegation meeting was held at @UniTartuCS.
We exchanged ideas for the research and collaboration. Special attention was given to ongoing research projects such as @CHESS_EU, #SECURENET, @CCAT_project and #QARQ.

One of the application areas CCAT targets is #GovTech, where CCAT tools can help reduce the implementation gap between #cybersecurity regulations and real-world #DigitalGovernment systems 🏛️🌐

[World Bank Gov @wbg_gov]

Digital government is advancing, but the World Bank’s GovTech Maturity Index shows targeted support is needed to close the digital divide. Difficulties arise where technology meets people. Read the blog for more on this: https://t.co/k4p4nQ1hyp

Proud to collaborate with two partners from #Estonia 🇪🇪 — a country with the highest share of women among #ICT graduates in the #EU (36.1%) that sets a strong example for the future of digital innovation and #cybersecurity.

@cybernetica and @unitartu 👏

[Digital EU 🇪🇺 @DigitalEU]

Behind every tech innovation, there are graduates.
But, in the EU, women still make up a minority of ICT graduates.

→ Highest share of women:
🇪🇪 Estonia: 36.1%
🇸🇪 Sweden: 36.1%
🇷🇴 Romania: 34.5%

How are organisations really using open source in 2026?

The 2026 State of Open Source Report highlights trends, challenges, and opportunities for teams building with OSS. It contains some striking statistics around time spent maintaining vs. developing, vulnerability management, and shifting attitudes toward governance and digital sovereignty.

Produced by Perforce Software in collaboration with the Eclipse Foundation and Open Source Initiative, this year’s report is a must-read for developers, architects, and technology leaders working in open ecosystems.

Transparency and verifiability of HW security components are also key topics in #CCAT project, addressed in particular through the #SCRUTINY tool, developed together with @tropicsquare 🌴

Great to see this issue in the spotlight at @BTCPrague!

[Tropic Square 🌴🔲 @tropicsquare]

Hardware wallets are only as trustworthy as the silicon inside them. Yet most secure elements are black boxes - closed, unauditable, taken on faith.

That's exactly the problem Tropic Square exists to solve. 🔓

We'll be at BTC Prague 2026 (June 11–13, Booth B46) - Europe's largest Bitcoin event - showing what a genuinely transparent, open architecture secure element looks like in practice.

If you're building hardware wallets, embedded devices, or anything where security can't be a gut feeling, come talk to us. We'd love to show you what TROPIC01 can do for your next project.

See you in Prague. 👋

See you at SAHA 2026! 👋

Today, more and more systems are deployed in the field, constantly connected, and expected to remain trusted over time. For hardware design houses, drones & autonomus systems developers, and security engineers, this brings very real challenges around device identity, key protection, and secure updates. 🔐

At Tropic Square, we believe trust at the hardware level should be open, transparent, and auditable.

Will you be at @SahaExpo ? If you are working on embedded systems, UAVs, communication, or sensing technologies and want to meet the future of hardware security, we will be there and would love to connect! 🚀

If you'd like to meet on-site, feel free to reach out to Simon Fic (https://t.co/56aBbMTGOA to set up a meeting. 🤝

Looking forward to the conversations!

A quick note: almost 50% of #CCAT researchers, testers and support staff are women 👩💻

We must be doing something right 😉

Today is Girls in ICT Day! 👩‍💻✨

When girls have equal access to digital skills and opportunities, they don’t just join the tech sector, they transform it.

Let’s keep building spaces where every girl can thrive in ICT.

The EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is coming. Are your embedded systems and crypto implementations ready for the scrutiny? 🛠️🔐

We’re excited to announce that Tropic Square is an active partner in the new €4.2M EU-funded CCAT (Cybersecurity Certification and Assessment Tools) project!

Alongside top academic minds and industry leaders across Europe, we are taking four advanced academic security tools - including SCRUTINY (for crypto hardware evaluation) and sec-certs (for embedded system certificates and vulnerabilities) - and turning them into accessible, open-source utilities for the real world.

What is our role? As a start-up laser-focused on security hardware, we are driving the real-world feedback loop. We are making sure these tools aren't just academic concepts, but battle-ready solutions that pentesters, R&D teams, and device manufacturers can actually use to assess their own systems and navigate complex EU cybersecurity regulations (CSA & CRA).

Let's break the black box of compliance.
