Digital Defence Ecosystem, DDE, will be launched officially at the SecD-Day 2023 conference and exhibition on 8th – 9th February 2023. The event will be held at Tapahtumakeskus Koskenranta in Helsinki. The theme of the event is Defence Market in the New Era.

The role of digitalisation in defence and security solutions is increasing, and the ability to utilise fast-developing civil technologies in defence and security systems is becoming critical. The need for collaboration is stronger than ever – DDE is the needed link in the defence industry.

Growth Engines are put into action through an enterprise-driven collaboration model involving businesses, research institutions, and government actors in an effort to discover solutions to the disruption of the global market and develop new growth industries in Finland.
