  • Mikkeli Development Miksei Ltd. runs several security and safety related projects
  • Universities focusing water/environmental/food/living/oil prevention etc. security & safety topics
  • State of the art manufacturers of CBRNE equipment like Environics Oy.
  • The Army Command (ARCOM) is located in the historic garrison area of Karkialampi, Mikkeli and functions as the command headquarters of the Commander of the Finnish Army, Major general Petri Hulkko.
  • Karelian Brigade in nearby is responsible for Mil operations and Cimic operations in the area.
  • AVI (Eastern Finland Authority Headquarters)
  • South Savo Regional Hospital is emphasising CBRNE safety related issues


In addition, the management of the city fully supports all types of security & safety projects and programmes in the area.
