ICO 2026 in Tunisia

The 2026 Edition

Following the success of ICO 2025 in Singapore, the 2026 edition moves to North Africa. Tunisia — renowned for its strategic position at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East — provides an ideal backdrop for the world's premier youth cybersecurity competition. The event takes place from June 27 to july 2, 2026, at Hotel Diar Lemdina in the Medina of Yasmine Hammamet.

Why Tunisia?

Tunisia's selection as the host for the 2026 edition is a testament to its emerging status as a regional hub for technological excellence and cybersecurity. The Tunisian committee demonstrated exceptional rigor throughout the bidding process, ensuring that every stringent Host Requirement — from advanced technical infrastructure to specialized logistics — was meticulously met.

Choosing Yasmine Hammamet offers more than just a strategic Mediterranean location; it provides a venue where high-stakes digital competition meets a landscape rich in history. This blend of world-class facilities and deep cultural heritage ensures an environment that is both intellectually stimulating and uniquely hospitable for the international cybersecurity community.
