Ukraine's Airlogix, Finland's Innokas plan to set up UAV production capacity in Finland

Ukrainian UAV manufacturer Airlogix and Finnish firm Innokas have entered into a letter of intent to set up a production facility in Finland for creating unmanned systems utilizing Airlogix's technology. According to Airlogix's Instagram update, this collaboration adheres to the Build with Ukraine initiative. The agreement was penned during the DALO Industry Days in Denmark.

Both companies aim to boost the production of Ukrainian UAVs in Europe and augment delivery volumes for Ukraine's defense forces. Innokas revealed that the signed document will also lay the groundwork for future cooperation, encompassing the formation of a joint venture between the entities or alternative forms of partnership. Their task involves finalizing the legal, technical, and production aspects of their collaboration.

Airlogix's Vice President of Investment and Finance, Oleksandr Androshchuk, stated that the partnership's primary objective is to escalate the production of Ukrainian unmanned systems to support Ukraine's security and defense forces. Innokas' CEO, Janne Kostamo, added that Innokas will contribute the necessary resources to localize and scale up production in Finland, while Airlogix will supply the technology and engineering solutions.

The Finnish CDMO company Innokas, specializing in technology creation, industrialization, and manufacturing for healthcare, industrial high-tech, defense, and dual-use sectors, was founded in 2020. Initially focusing on cargo drones, Airlogix has since shifted its emphasis to military UAVs and unmanned aerial systems.
