An incredible few days at @HelSecForum 🤝 As proud sponsors, we connected with leaders and policymakers dedicated to a safer and more secure Europe and took part in the “Ramping Up European Defense” panel. We look forward to building on these important discussions. 🛡️

🇪🇺🇺🇸 GMF’s @ClaudMajor joined the @HelSecForum this weekend to explore the deterrence, defense, leadership, and power dynamics shaping Europe’s evolving security strategy.

Reflecting on a future in which Europe assumes greater responsibility for its own security, Major noted: “Europeans will be worse off because with a big political, military, nuclear, strategic ally we are stronger...the DNA of European defense is deeply American, so we have to change our DNA.”

The fifth annual @HelSecForum is now behind us.✨

As a long-term supporter of the forum, Patria was proud to be strongly represented throughout the event. On Friday, our President and CEO, Panu Routila, joined the panel discussion “Ramping up Defence in Europe”. The discussion explored how closer cooperation and a stronger industrial base can help strengthen Europe's defence capabilities.

On Saturday, Patria and @Navyfi hosted a capability showcase for forum participants. Visitors had the opportunity to take a closer look at Patria AMV XP and Patria 6x6 vehicles, as well as seeing the Patria TREMOS mortar system. Participants also had the chance to visit the Hamina-class missile boat Pori, whose mid-life upgrade was led by Patria.

A heartfelt thank you to the organisers and all participants for three inspiring days in Helsinki.

@justinhotard @iceye_global @rmodrzewski @KirsiHeikel @business Thank you for being a part of #HSF2026!

[Justin Hotard @justinhotard]

Europe's security architecture is evolving. Technology is the driving force and sovereignty requires competitiveness. These were key themes at yesterday’s @HelSecForum where I shared the stage with @iceye_global’s @rmodrzewski and @KirsiHeikel from @business. As physical AI and autonomous systems reshape defense, it’s clear that strengthening security requires sovereign connectivity. #DefenseTech #Connectivity
