Modirum Defence at the DEFINE Hackathon

At Modirum Defence, our commitment to innovation extends beyond our everyday work. Our recent participation in the DEFINE Hackathon underscores this approach, as our team explored fresh perspectives on the intersection of civilian and defence technologies.

The DEFINE Hackathon, organised by DEFINE Finland, Millog, and the City of Riihimäki, was held in Riihimäki, Finland from 26 to 28 September 2024. The event focused on dual-use technologies—solutions that serve both defence and civil applications.

Modirum Defence participated in the event with a team of three experts. The objective was to reimagine the potential of everyday devices in areas such as cybersecurity, disaster response, communication networks, and AI-driven threat detection. The event offered a unique opportunity to collaborate on new and disruptive applications of existing technologies.

Connecting with Future Innovators and Exploring Industry Trends

The hackathon was more than just a platform to showcase expertise—it provided a chance to explore the latest trends and share insights with both established defence companies and emerging players. This environment fostered valuable discussions and allowed us to connect and exchange ideas on defence and public safety challenges.
