How do you think Finnish firms can grow and win against the larger firms from Germany or France? Do you think there needs to be renegotations over the loan's conditions to favour smaller firms and countries?

Pretty sure Finnish firms will not benefit a lot from that, even tho Finnish military equipment is really high quality. The money will go to the biggest firms, in germany and france to boost their economy.
Another example of how Finland pays a lot into the EU (both monetarily and otherwise) and gets a raw deal in return.
Finnish firms may have okay quality – high quality stuff, but the problem is that decades of peace dividends have optimized the production to small batches, not mass production.
Bigger firms have the capital to change production. Finnish firms are small and lack capital. Product that is optimized for small batch production might not be suitable to mass production without lot of material and design changes.
I would say that licensing could come play here to a degree. Design stuff here and produce what we can, and license the rest.
What are they on about? At the bottom there’s a recommended article
[Germany orders up to €5b worth of armoured vehicles from Finnish defence firm Patria](https://yle.fi/a/74-20175147?utm_source=social-media-share&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ylefiapp)
Also Finland and Sweden are ordering new AR-style rifles for all troops from Sako, a Finnish company owned by Beretta.
Woo! The EU hurting the Finnish economy even more! Yippeeeee!!!
Are you guys ready to send our tax money to eastern europe to boost their economies? Screw ever thinking about what’s the best for us when we can think about what’s the best for the EU (Germany)!
It’s always easier to look at other for your own fault and not the fact that the country itself is not rich enough to have more capital to work with. Clients are going to go with what’s best for their pockets and if that means buying from a vendor that has good quality and more quantity and better price for these, then that’s it.
Nobody owes you anything and at the same time Finland doesn’t have to buy X from country A or B. Business is business, not another excuse at “big EU meaniehead”.
Finland is not producing wealth enough to compete in certain fields and that is only the responsibility of Finland. No EU and nobody else can do the work for you that needs to be done by you
The Finnish defense industry is doing pretty good, just keep up the good work.
