Patria Oyj — Cyborg Score 8/10

Strong
Military armoured vehicles and protected mobility

Strategic Profile

Owned 50.1% by the State of Finland and 49.9% by Norwegian Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, Patria forms a leading Nordic defence partnership that includes 50% ownership of Nammo. New orders in 2024 reached €1,258.2 million, with net sales climbing 12% year-over-year to €421.0 million in H1 2025, driven by robust NATO rearmament efforts.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Patria's net sales grew from €534.1 million in 2020 to €825.7 million in 2024, driven by heightened European demand for armored vehicles and artillery systems following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Finland's NATO accession in April 2023. Strategic positioning in F-35 supply chain and CAVS programme expansion provide long-term visibility. Strong government backing and Kongsberg partnership reduce execution risk.
