Summa Defence as an investment
Unique investment opportunity in the growing defence and security market
1. A new strong growth company in defence and security technology
Summa Defence is a Finnish defence and security technology group. We bring together key players in the defence and security industry and create a new strong growth company for the sector. Our mission is to strengthen the defence and security industry and establish industrial-scale production capacity in response to geopolitical shifts.
Summa Defence offers strategic support and growth opportunities to companies aiming for international success. Finland is home to many excellent innovations and technologies, and with the right resources, they can grow globally. Summa provides the platform to achieve these goals.
2. The dual-use of technologies bring stability to business operations
Summa Defence Group focuses on dual-use technologies that have applications in both civilian and defence/security sectors. Dual-use technology is becoming a megatrend, providing us with significant business opportunities.
3. NATO Finland is an internationally attractive partner
Finland’s technological expertise and geopolitical position open opportunities for multinational programs, particularly among NATO countries. Cooperation with NATO strengthens the position of Finnish defence and security companies as developers and commercializers of innovative solutions, benefiting both military and civilian sectors.
Additionally, NATO membership strengthens Finland’s role as part of Western security cooperation and opens new opportunities to participate in multinational projects where innovative defence and security technologies are at the core. We now compete on a level playing field with other players in the industry – what matters is the product, not where it comes from.
4. Transformation of the security environment as a driver of strong growth
NATO countries are increasing their defence spending in response to regional geopolitical changes and shifts in Europe’s security environment. Additionally, the market potential for dual-use products is enormous. These factors offer Summa Defence opportunities for expansion and growth in both sectors. Our goal is to achieve 500 million euros in revenue by the end of 2027. We aim to grow both organically and through acquisitions.
5. Effective and active company acquisition strategy creates growth and shareholder value
The market we operate in offers significant consolidation opportunities, and we play an active role in this. Our efficient acquisition strategy focuses on companies that have already demonstrated the applicability of their technologies to both defence and civilian markets. These companies must have the passion and ability to grow internationally, particularly in NATO member countries. We provide a growth platform for our wholly-owned subsidiaries that lack sufficient resources for independent growth and internationalization. Our subsidiaries continue to operate under their own identities. Group companies can leverage mutual synergies and participate in larger international projects.
6. Strong track record of increasing shareholder value
Domestic ownership is important to us. Summa Defence’s leadership has a strong track record of increasing shareholder value. In addition, Summa Defence is supported by AktiiviOmistajat, a consortium of experienced entrepreneurs investing in carefully selected target companies, with the goal of developing the companies’ shareholder value and operations. AktiiviOmistajat promotes the long-term success of Finnish companies and supports the increase of their market value.
