HiQ approved as a NATO technology supplier – A step towards a stronger role in international defense, security, and cyber domains
HiQ has been officially approved as a technology supplier to NATO, marking a significant milestone in the company’s strategic journey toward a stronger position in the international defense, security, and cyber sectors.
This approval opens new opportunities for HiQ in international markets. The company aims to become one of the leading providers of digital defense and cybersecurity solutions in the Nordics.
HiQ has been accepted into NATO’s official supplier registry. This status enables participation in upcoming procurement opportunities organized by NATO and its member states. The approval is based on a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency), and HiQ has also been approved as a supplier within the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) network.
Strengthening its position as a developer of defense, security, and cybersecurity solutions is a key strategic goal for HiQ, and inclusion in NATO’s registry represents a major step forward. In addition to access to new markets, it reinforces the company’s commitment to growth in the defense sector across the Nordics and Europe.
“We have a long track record and deep expertise in delivering cutting-edge technology and innovative, high-quality solutions. It’s great to see this recognized internationally. Being listed in NATO’s supplier registry enables us to participate more broadly in strategic projects and contribute to the development of future defense solutions,” says Minna Lindholm, CEO of HiQ.
HiQ already has a strong legacy in defense and cybersecurity. HiQ’s customer base includes leading defence and aerospace companies, as well as public authorities such as the Finnish Defence Forces and key government actors in Sweden. HiQ is also a member of the Digital Defence Ecosystem, supporting its ambition to expand defense sector business in Finland and across Europe.
“Our experts work closely with leading players in the defense sector to develop solutions that enhance national and allied security. With NATO approval, we are now able to contribute to even more meaningful and strategic projects,” says Sami Pippuri, Head of Public Sector Business at HiQ.
HiQ brings strong capabilities in software development, cybersecurity, and data-driven digital solutions essential for modern defense technologies to the NATO ecosystem. The company will continue to strengthen its expertise and solutions in defense, security, and cyber to meet the challenges of the future. NATO supplier status is a natural continuation of HiQ’s significant investments in these fields.
