Strengthening European and Finnish Defence Industries
2 June 2026 | Finlandia Hall | Helsinki
On June 2, 2026, Modirum Platforms takes the stage at Finland's premier defence industry forum - Major Defence Industry Day 2026 at Finlandia Hall, Helsinki. As European nations accelerate efforts to strengthen their defence industrial base, scale production capacity and secure sovereign technology supply chains, this event brings the conversation to the highest level.
Modirum Platforms' President & CEO, Tero Silvola, joins the industry panel on strengthening European and Finnish defence industries, offering perspectives on how resilient digital platforms, secure connectivity and interoperability are essential to scaling defence capability in a rapidly evolving security landscape.
Taking place at 14:55, the panel "Strengthening European and Finnish Defence Industries" brings together CEOs from Bittium, Modirum and Kongsberg Defence alongside Business Finland to examine how the European and Finnish defence sectors can scale, innovate and compete — addressing industrial resilience, export strategies, defence technology sovereignty and the collaborative frameworks needed to build lasting competitive advantage.
Major Defence Industry Day 2026, hosted by the Finland Chamber of Commerce and ICC Finland, convenes senior decision-makers, industry leaders and defence experts at a pivotal moment for European security. The forum offers a unique opportunity to network with leading professionals, exchange experiences and build a forward-looking vision of future opportunities.
The day features inspiring keynote speeches, in-depth panel discussions and timely insights into how technologies, solutions and export strategies can drive growth, security and defence capability. Discussions also explore defence export opportunities — how Finnish expertise can succeed internationally and how we can collectively build sustainable competitive advantage in the sector.
