TechNet Europe, as per annual tradition, is an

to defence, intelligence and security of the host
country and the European geographical area.
Traditional topics include Cybersecurity, C4ISR,
5G, Cloud Technology, Data Analytics, Quantum

Information warfare, Defense against Hybrid
warfare and many more.
TechNet Europe 2024 will be held in Helsinki,
Finland and will be again a unique two-day

networking opportunities through our exhibition
and during the networking breaks. This event will
feature high-level speakers and specialists from
the Finnish and other national governments,
