Finnish defence industry showcased at NSPA's Industry Day

The Finnish Industry Day took place at the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) in Luxembourg on 30 May 2024, the first Finnish Industry Day at NSPA as a full member state of NATO. A total of 30 domestic companies participated in the Industry Day.

Finland's cooperation with NSPA started already before its NATO membership, but now it is even closer than before. Through NSPA, Finland procures various items, the most important of which at present include ammunition, Spike anti-tank missiles and infantry protection masks.

The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) is NATO’s lead organisation for multinational acquisition, support and sustainment in all domains. As NATO’s primary enabler, the Agency’s mission is to provide effective and cost efficient multinational solutions to the Alliance, its thirty-two Nations and Partners. The Agency acts in the market to link industry capabilities and requirements of Nations to find the most cost-effective and efficient solutions, whether for national or collective defence. Since its establishment in 1958, NSPA acquires, operates, and maintains everything through an unbiased link between industry and the nations. The opportunities for domestic operators to participate have therefore improved significantly as a result of Finland's membership to the Military Alliance. This enables the development of exports of the military industry. More than a hundred domestic companies are listed in the NATO Source File.
