The defence and security sector is growing fast — faster than the number of SMEs ready to meet the demand. Many startups have the right tech or potential but lack the know-how to pivot into this space.
That’s why we’re launching a hands-on, no-nonsense MasterClass for startups from Finland, Estonia, Sweden, and Latvia who haven’t worked with defence (yet) — but are ready to explore the opportunity.
What you’ll get:
· A 1.5h crash course from experts working with the Finnish Defence Forces and NATO
· Real founder stories: Startup entrepreneurs sharing what they wish they’d known
· Clear, practical guidance on how to enter the dual-use and defence tech markets
· A Startup Ticket to Arctic15 – one of the best founder/investor events in the Nordics
Only 25 top startups will be accepted – apply now and turn your tech into strategic advantage.
This MasterClass will be held in-person in Helsinki in Arctic15, 4th June 11am. The MasterClass is part of the BeScaled project, co-funded by the EU through Interreg Central Baltic. Let’s build Baltic dual-use innovation together.
