The Association of Finnish Defence and Aerospace Industries – AFDA will organise the next SecD-Day event at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre on 29 – 30 January 2025.
SecD-Day 2025 promotes Finland’s comprehensive security by producing information on current topics, products and services of the defence, security and aerospace industries. The two-day invitation-only event consists of a conference programme and an exhibition.
SecD-Day was organised for the first time in Helsinki in the spring of 2023. The arena of the next event, which will be organised in January 2025, will be the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre (Messukeskus), thanks to the new cooperation. Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre will in the future be responsible for the practical arrangements, sales and marketing of SecD-Day on behalf of AFDA. The programme of the event is planned by AFDA. Messua Oy will continue as the technical partner of the event.
“We are happy that The Association of Finnish Defence and Aerospace Industries – AFDA chose us as their partner. Our solid experience in organising events, our functioning exhibition and conference facilities, and our certified security expertise support AFDA and the defence and security technology companies participating in the event. Together, we can offer the Finnish defence industry an excellent showcase,” says Business Manager Marcus Bergström from the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre.
“SecD-Day increases direct interaction between defence, security, space and aviation companies and authorities. The new event was already well received the first time it was organised, and it has every chance to grow into a significant event even in the entire Northern European region. Moving to the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre and cooperating with the industry’s leading event organiser enables the long-term development and growth of the event,” says Tuija Karanko, Secretary General of The Association of Finnish Defence and Aerospace Industries – AFDA.
