Our network partners and cooperations

Stronger together

For us, exchange and networking are an important aspect of our daily work. That’s why we participate in numerous networks, are partners in joint projects and collaborate with other organisations. Because together, we are even stronger and more innovative. Find out more about our network and the institutions we cooperate with.

ASW

ASW is short for “Allianz für Sicherheit in der Wirtschaft” (Alliance for Security in Industry and Commerce). It’s the association’s mission to actively foster security. ASW is a partner in political legislation, a communication partner for the media and a hinge between security authorities and the business community. To achieve this, ASW cooperates with all major organisations in the intelligence and police community as well as other security agencies, and seeks to open and maintain channels for the communication of vital information between agencies and companies. We are a member of the regional association ASW Norddeutschland e.V. and a supporting member of the ASW-Bundesverband (ASW Federal Association).

PSC Europe

The Public Safety Communication Europe Forum (PSCE) is an important player in the field of public safety in Europe. The PSCE drives innovation and fosters the exchange of experts in the sector. The independent organisation was founded in 2008 as a result of a project financed by the European Commission. Since then, it has evolved into an independent forum where representatives from public safety organisations, industry and research meet to share ideas and best practices, develop roadmaps and improve the future of public safety communication.

TISA

TISA, the Traveller Information Services Association, is a non-profit organisation all about travel – worldwide. It sets global, open transport and travel information standards and guidelines to ensure that travel becomes safer, more efficient and therefore more sustainable in the future. Among other things, TISA is developing the TPEG format, a new standardised format that can be used to receive alerts in cars. This is where we at mecom actively contribute our expertise and provide development support.
