Learn how Finnish defence and dual-use technology companies can tap into New Zealand’s €6.8 billion defence investment program. Understand NZ’s procurement process, capability priorities, and how Finnish strengths align with local needs.
Why New Zealand?
- NZ’s Defence Capability Plan 2025 allocates over NZ$12 billion (€6.8B) in defence spending over four years.
- Focus areas: frigate upgrades, digital land systems, cyber resilience, RPAS, and space-based ISR.
- Entry is easier than in many saturated markets – NZ values agile, trusted and NATO-compatible partners like Finland.
- Interoperability with Australia offers potential for dual-market access via one entry point.
Opportunities Exist In
