About us
Finland’s defence sector is booming — over €2 billion in annual turnover across 300+ companies and counting — and the need for fresh innovation has never been greater. With national defence spending set to rise towards 3% of GDP by 2029, opportunities for new technology, talent and ideas are accelerating.
Aalto Defence connects the brightest minds at Aalto with the european defence ecosystem — industry, authorities, research institutes and startups. We run hackathons, excursions and panel discussions that turn insight into impact: students gain real projects, mentoring and clear routes into internships and early careers; partners meet motivated, multidisciplinary talent from technology, business and design.
