The event theme is going to explore emerging global (in)stability and its impact on Finland and the broader European context.

The topic theme will be addressed through four sub-themes comprising comprehensive security, security technology and artificial intelligence, and Finland’s security of supply.

Please note:
For the benefit of our international guests the speeches and discussions are translated into English.

I DISCUSSION (FIN): UNCERTAINTY IS THE NEW NORMAL – HOW IS FINLAND PREPARING? 

If a crisis strikes, are we ready? That is the question we are seeking an answer to right now. You are warmly welcome to join the discussion and hear about preparedness and security of supply. 

II DISCUSSION (FIN): SECURITY TECHNOLOGY IN TRANSITION – WHAT DOES THE NEW ERA DEMAND?

Security is no longer just about troops and equipment – it increasingly relies on software, systems, and capabilities built on technology.

III DISCUSSION (ENG): CAN EUROPE DELIVER ON DEFENCE? FROM PROMISES TO PRODUCTION

Europe is at a turning point. With rising tensions and war on the continent, nations are pledging historic defence investments. But can they deliver, and fast enough?

IV DISCUSSION (FIN): HOW DO WE SUPPORT THE WILL TO DEFEND?

What must be done to preserve the will to defend? What needs to change to ensure we hold on to that will?
