CyberLehia 2025: The future of digital talent is consolidating in the Basque Country

CyberLehia 2025 has once again demonstrated that cybersecurity is not only a technical challenge, but also an opportunity to inspire careers, identify talent, and connect education with the business world. The grand finale of the second edition of this championship was held yesterday, establishing itself as an essential meeting point for students, trainers, and industry professionals.
Vocational training as a driver of the digital future
Vocational training has an essential role in the preparation of cybersecurity specialists, bringing practical learning closer to the real needs of the technology industry. CyberLehia clearly reflects this connection, offering students the opportunity to test their skills in a competitive and realistic environment.
This year’s edition was attended by more than 450 students, a fact that demonstrates both the growing interest in cybersecurity and the high level of emerging talent in the Basque Country.
Training connected to the reality of the sector
The support of TEKNIKA—a leading center for innovation applied to vocational training—and of the Basque Government’s Department of Education has been essential in strengthening the ties between training and the digital sector. Their involvement ensures that initiatives like CyberLehia continue to grow and generate real impact.
