On August 31st, Oulu hosted an enlightening session spotlighting the promising defense sector opportunities for Finnish tech companies. With established deep-tech firms already making waves nationally and internationally, Oulu is ramping up its efforts to delve deeper into the defense markets. A proposed 6G test center backed by stalwarts like VTT and Oulu University could be a game-changer. The day's discussions were not just about potential but also about challenges, support mechanisms, and the vast opportunities lying ahead.
