Join the delegation to Washington DC to establish relationships with important stakeholders and to explore business opportunities in the Defense sector.
The United States has the largest defense, aerospace and security industry and market in the World. Finland is preparing for the largest ever defense procurement, replacement of the current F/A-18 Hornet fleet, during 2025 – 2030.

It also gives insights on doing business in the US defense market and there are possibilities to discuss with American defense officials.
