Siili Solutions joins the Digital Defence Ecosystem
Siili Solutions has joined the Digital Defence Ecosystem! Our new member company provides state-of-the-art AI-powered digital solutions and software development, specializing in solutions that combine embedded, HMI, RPA, and AI – for example, in vehicle management and user interfaces. Read the full interview with Jaana Komulainen, Head of Government and Security below:
“We have several dual-purpose solutions for aviation and maritime sectors as well as logistics optimization solutions both in the physical and information space. For example, the AOS system we developed for Finavia, which is in operational use, integrates data from various sources in real time.”
Why are you a DDE member?
“We are a growth-oriented, software, data and AI specialist company with 1,000 employees. We seek new business domains, and defence and security is one such area. Moreover, we believe that Finland can succeed better in creating security in Europe by combining the best specialists for collaboration and innovation. I look forward to matching top-notch research, commercial capabilities and technological excellence to create something extraordinary and new together.”
Which themes interest you the most?
“Improving the predictability and actionability of data with AI. Enhancing operations management through better data handling and AI. Leveraging data from multiple sources to improve situational awareness. In this context, we also recognise that an intuitive UI is crucial for fast-paced field operations. As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention – many innovations have emerged from military crises and wars."
How do you see DDE’s role in Finnish society?
“We are a small nation and in light of recent political turbulence we see DDE as a key safeguard for us and the Nordic countries around the Baltic Sea. The new defence landscape calls for digital, cyber and AI skill sets, but, on top of that we have the defence industry capability for implementation. We believe Finland has a winning formula here, both for domestic and international needs.”
What projects are you working on now?
"We are rapidly advancing in AI-powered software and application development. We continuously strengthen our expertise in data and AI by recruiting top talent, believing that this growing competence will drive entirely new kinds of solutions. Our strong track record in creating robust yet agile digital solutions – such as HMI, digital twins, and simulations – positions us well to support new defence initiatives."
A warm welcome to Siili Solutions!
