Finnish experts from key institutions and technology companies had a unique opportunity to explore Czech solutions for digital investigation and data analysis. The companies Cogniware and Phonexia presented their advanced AI‑based systems, which offer new capabilities particularly in the fields of security and forensic analysis.
During a presentation event held at the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Helsinki on 25 March 2026, Dominik Regner, Sales Manager at Cogniware, introduced the AI software ARGOS, designed for evidence analysis and investigative work, to the Finnish audience. The system enables investigators to gather information, uncover connections, and visualize relationships in one unified environment. As Dominik Regner explained: “Our system was created to rapidly link different types of data and help investigators navigate them more easily. It turned out that the most effective solution was a modular platform functioning like building blocks – individual modules can be combined freely to build a solution tailored to the needs of any organization.”
ARGOS also includes modules that use AI to detect various biometric identifiers. One of these was showcased in Finland by Phonexia’s representative, Sales Manager Iva Konečná. The Phonexia Speech Platform provides a broad range of technologies for voice biometrics and speech recognition. It enables speaker identification, gender and age estimation, language recognition, speech‑to‑text transcription, keyword spotting, deepfake detection, and more. Phonexia also offers a specialized tool, Voice Inspector, for advanced forensic voice analysis.
Both Czech companies rank among leading technology providers whose products are widely used by security agencies, law‑enforcement bodies, intelligence services, and other institutions worldwide.
The role of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Helsinki was to identify and contact suitable Finnish partners, highlight the relevance of both Czech companies, and secure the participation of Finnish experts at the event. The audience included leading Finnish specialists from security services, government institutions, and the private sector, particularly from technology and innovation‑driven companies specializing in digital transformation, software development, cybersecurity, and data analytics. Many representatives from the private sector are also strategic partners of Finnish public administration, which created a meaningful platform for all participants involved.
The presenters impressed guests not only with the innovative nature of their technologies but also with the showcasing of their systems and practical demonstrations showing the systems’ capabilities in real time. The presentations prompted many questions regarding implementation possibilities, use‑case breadth, and the detailed specifics of individual functions. Finnish participants were clearly interested in the Czech solutions and both sides agreed to continue discussions aimed at exploring opportunities for cooperation. The lively discussion and strong interest from Finnish partners clearly show that Czech innovative software (and other) solutions have significant potential for success in Finland’s security sector. Technologies of this kind are highly valued and in strong demand in Finland, which continues to increase investments in defense, security and resilience, while also maintaining strong tradition in high‑tech industries, among other things in the field of artificial intelligence. The combination of rising defense spending, openness to international cooperation – especially among NATO allies – and the emphasis on advanced technologies makes Finland a highly promising market for Czech companies operating in the security and defense domain.
