Strategic Defence Partnership Concept

The Finnish Defence Forces and Finnish companies have networked and established collaboration under normal conditions, preparing them for collaboration in emergency conditions. The Ministry of Defence expresses its vision of industrial collaboration in Defence and security industrial strategy.
“The Defence Forces and industry must commit to shared long-term planning in order to improve industrial capacities. Instead of concentrating on production figures, they must strive for competence-based industrial expertise.”
Since many years, Patria, as well as Millog, are strategic partners to the Finnish Defense Forces (FDF). Both of these companies co-operate very closely with the Finnish Defence Forces in a variety of tasks, including for example, life cycle support services of defence materiel and development of the Finnish Defense Forces crises and war readiness. More information on these strategic partnerships can be found below.
Based on these experiences, Patria has derived the Patria Strategic Partnership Concept – a concept proven to enable a trusted and close co-operation between industry and defence in peace, crisis and ultimately also in war time.
The ultimate goal with strategic partnerships is to ensure an operational readiness in the homeland in all situations.
Once entered, a strategic partnership based on Patria's Strategic Partnership Concept is easily adjustable to changing the needs of the defence forces in question (time, targets, priorities, budget restraints, etc.) - without formal re-negotiation of the partnership itself and to predicted cost, time and effect.
