“Digia's organisation already has more than 130 experts with a security clearance, with new ones added as needed. Several dozens of top experts work full time in the defence industry, bringing the latest expertise to the sector. We are also determined in our efforts to build a Finnish network of professionals in different areas of expertise. Through the Digia Hub competence centre, we provide our experience and expertise for the defence industry under the theme “Together we are more”,” Paihonen adds.
”As digitalisation and digital services are constantly evolving, it is important to be both an extremely reliable service provider as well as also a visionary. The best way to do this is by pooling our top specialists and expertise in the sector into one unit. The Defence unit was created because we believe bringing together key experts of defence industry solutions to be a source of synergy and new drive and opportunities for development for the entire sector, and in order to promote growth and increase the pool of professionals for the Finnish defence industry both domestically and internationally,” says Jussi Tammelin, Director of Digia’s Defence Unit.
Digia’s new Defence Unit began its operations in early May 2022.
