The era of single-solution security is over. In a world shaped by disruption, resilience no longer stems from one guarantee, one alliance, or one strategy.
Helsinki Security Forum 2026 explores the new security setting and the future of Europe in a rapidly changing and increasingly turbulent world. The new strategic era challenges Europe, and Finland, to step up its agency in a world defined by uncertainty and competition.
HSF 2026 – Layers of Security brings together experts and policymakers to explore the building blocks of long-term security and defence.
