FM has announced a strategic research partnership with the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology designed to help businesses better anticipate climate and cyber risks.

Leveraging LIST’s research in cyber security, digital twins, Earth observation and artificial intelligence, the collaboration seeks to better understand the chain reactions behind business interruptions.

The first of these projects will model cyber attack pathways and simulate digital intrusions to better understand how cyber incidents ripple through complex systems.

The second focuses on climate-driven business interruption, starting with flood and wildfire risks. LIST will develop a digital twin platform capable of integrating FM climate models to simulate extreme weather events and their cascading effects on infrastructure and business continuity.

“This collaboration perfectly illustrates LIST’s mission: connecting deep tech research with industrial reality,” said Jurgen Joossens, CEO of LIST. “We’re proud to partner with FM to co-develop tools that can truly improve business resilience – not only in Luxembourg, but across Europe and beyond.”

Sandor Becz, senior vice-president of research at FM added: “With its commitment to science and research and mission of developing innovative solutions for the public and private sectors, LIST is a perfect partner for FM. We share LIST’s belief in the power of scientific exploration and we are excited about what we can accomplish together through this strategic partnership.”
