New era of defence
Forged under the Nordic skies.
Who We
Are
A venture studio for new defence
Finnish Defence House exists to bridge the gap between breakthrough ideas and deployable defence capabilities. We are a venture studio: we identify, fund, and build the companies European defence needs, from earliest concept to fielded capability.
We work with founders from the earliest stages. When no founder exists, we build the company ourselves.
Our team brings together expertise across defence, research, and venture building. We focus on deep-tech domains shaping the future of security: AI, autonomy, advanced sensing, and connected systems.
We contribute more than capital. We bring operational depth, strategic governance, and hands-on execution to every company we build.
Guided by Nordic values of integrity, responsibility, and long-term purpose, we act with trust and a shared mission to protect what matters.
Strategic. Capable. Collaborative.
Bridging the gap between science and fielded capability requires more than technology. It requires structure, operational experience, and the willingness to build, not just to back.
We work alongside founders, researchers, and public partners to turn bold innovation into real-world capability. Our model combines early-stage company building with deep operational support.
We source and validate ideas against real operational requirements before committing capital. We co-found companies when no team exists, and back founders when one does. We provide expert services, governance support, and hands-on execution throughout the build. We create procurement pathways through direct relationships with defence forces and research institutions. We build durable networks of trust across defence, academia, and industry.
We do not just fund promising ventures. We help found them, shape them, and build the operational infrastructure they need to reach procurement-ready scale.
