We are building collaboration in defence solutions
XD Solutions collaborates with Business Tampere to improve the cooperation between the defence sector and the other industries in the Tampere region. The objective of this collaboration is to enable businesses and research institutes to participate in European Defence Fund, EDF, and related projects. While improving the collaboration between these links, Business Tampere and XD Solutions will seek to improve the proficiency of the defence sector in the Tampere region as well as improve the business activities of the businesses that operate in the region. The goal is to expand the expertise and technologies of traditionally civilian businesses in a way that they can operate in the defence sector in the future as well.
The Tampere region is home to many security and defence businesses, research institutes and defence forces organisations. In addition to these, there are many businesses in the Tampere region that possess useful technologies and knowledge that could be utilised in the future to improve security and defence capabilities. The challenge is that the defence field is traditionally a closed sector both nationally and internationally. XD Solutions acts as the bridge between the defence sector and the civilian sector as a provider of insights, knowledge, experience and networks.
The businesses in the Tampere region have the promising potential of knowledge that could be utilised more comprehensively in the defence field. The utilisation of this knowledge requires broad collaboration between businesses, and wide networking internationally. Improving these technologies and knowledge will ensure competitiveness in both the defence and the civilian operating field. Participation in the EDF projects will also support the internationalisation of businesses.
Business Tampere, the Tampere region economic development agency, promotes investments, attracts talents and creates the best environment for business in the region. Tampere region has many business and innovation ecosystems that bring together the key actors of the region. These ecosystems represent for example safety and security, intelligent machines and automation, AI and analytics, imaging and circular economy. Business Tampere is responsible for leading various ecosystems and coordinating the Tampere region safety and security cluster.
