BORDERLINK was featured at this high-level EU event to connect with the broader security and customs innovation community. We shared a

booth with the PARSEC project, highlighting synergies in border

security technologies and stakeholder engagement.

The BORDERLINK project, a new Horizon Europe research and innovation action, has oficially launched with the ambition to

strengthen tactical-level interoperability across European customs

administrations and border agencies.

Coordinated by CBRA Services (Belgium), BORDERLINK brings together 18 partners from 10 countries, including customs authorities, research institutions, and leading technology providers. The project will run for 36 months and is funded under the HORIZON-CL3-2023- BM-01-04 call on border management.

At its core, BORDERLINK aims to develop, test, and validate ten breakthrough innovations that address operational challenges in customs enforcement — from data sharing and risk management to X-ray screening, material identification, and the handling of seized goods.

Over the coming months, the project will focus on gathering user requirements from customs officers, designing technical solutions, and launching  the BORDERLINK Stakeholder Forum (BOSF) to engage with external actors.
