About Public Security Innovation Center (PSIC)
Public Security Innovation Center (PSIC) delivers innovation, integration and interoperability in public security for end-users worldwide.
As an independent and open platform for proven technologies in public security, The Public Security Innovation Center (PSIC) offers a vast network of integrated security solutions, linking vendors to government, business, volunteer organizations, and the public. And, through a state-of-the-art demonstration center plus trade missions and international sales channel development, PSIC brings innovators to the market through pro-active, unique and customized outreach and matchmaking.
Creating New Solutions Together
PSIC brings together public security technology innovators. These are the participating companies, or PSIC Participants, which represent a wide range of information management and physical security solutions. They have been vetted and have demonstrated proven technologies through a number of criteria in order to participate in the forum.
Participants
Most PSIC Participants are small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that foster innovation as part of their corporate culture and can benefit from a collaborative environment to maximize business value. By bringing Participants together, PSIC fosters the application of all forms of technology to deliver more effective emergency decision-making for natural, technological and terrorist events. As a result, Participants innovate technologies and develop specific solutions for clients, the end-users.
End-Users
PSIC is a forum that links public security technology providers with end-users. Thus, it is not about research or innovation in a vacuum. End-users (governments, voluntary organizations, and commercial companies) can bring their specific needs to PSIC and have a solution developed or adapted for them. They can experience the technologies at the PSIC Demonstration Center in The Hague, or they can meet and interact with Participants through special events such as trade missions to new markets or customized matchmaking trips.
Demonstration Center
The PSIC Demonstration Center is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to fostering innovation, integration and interoperability in public security. PSIC provides a venue in which to simulate real-life scenarios and demonstrate public security technologies. It brings together solution providers in an environment of collaboration, integration and interoperability. It is located in the World Forum in The Hague in the Netherlands.
International Showcase
International companies specialized in security technology can also become a member of PSIC. Parties with a proven solution for the public security market are welcome to showcase their technology. The PSIC board decides whether such a solution fits into its model. If your company fits the requirements, PSIC can facilitate the entrance into the Dutch market - and beyond. PSIC reaches a large international audience. It has already welcomed government officials from European countries, police staff from South Africa, hotel security officials from Dubai, to name but a few.
