Meet the companies demonstrating defence technologies at the NATO Innovation Range Technical Demonstration

By Sanni Salokangas

On 8-10 of December in beautiful, wintery Finland, 17 innovative companies in the defense technology space will come together to demonstrate their capabilities and explore practical applications, integration patterns, and suitability for operational requirements in realistic conditions at the NATO Innovation Range Technical Demonstration for Eastern Flank Deterrence Line (EFDL) in Riihimäki.

The event brings together NATO Allied Land Command (LANDCOM) and NATO’s Defence Industry, Innovation and Armaments Division (D2IA) with key industry partners including Nokia, Telia, NEST AI, and VTT, alongside startups and technology companies. It is co-organised by the Defence Innovation Network Finland (DEFINE) ecosystem and Crazy Town. Testing of multi-domain capabilities is supported within a Defence Cloud environment operated by RAIN.global and Millog.

SpaceTime will present as a technology partner providing secure data storage and ensuring interoperability with connected systems and platforms during this event. Together with ConfidentialMind, we will also provide AI and machine learning models, and on-site GPU compute power for the participants.

Over three days, participating companies will test and demonstrate multi-domain, dual-use solutions focused on AI-enhanced decision support, autonomy and unmanned systems across land, air, and water, resilient and secure connectivity, and capabilities related to surveillance, navigation, and ISR.
