Summa Defence also investigates the possibilities to list the company on Nasdaq Helsinki within the next 12 months.
Filling the need
There is a clear, if not desperate need for the European defence industry to step up, innovate and ramp up the production. The demand for defence products, solutions and service is growing more acute day by day. Summa Defence answers the call and creates a home for small and medium sized Finnish operators to grow, prosper and internationalize.
Summa Defence helps Finland to prepare for new future as NATO and EU member and important partner to the USA. By combining the Finnish defence know how and companies we improve the overall safety and create internationally significant innovations.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Summa Defence draws its name from the legendary Winter War Battle of Summa where the Finnish soldiers were seriously outnumbered and faced against an overwhelming material superiority. With wit and grit, they triumphed.
