Strong partnerships, candid conversations, and a shared commitment to resilience — today’s AmCham Defense & Security Dialogue Speaker Luncheon in Tallinn delivered all that and more.
Held at the Radisson Collection Hotel, the room brought together government leaders, Nordic-Baltic industry representatives, and AmCham member companies for an energizing discussion on Infrastructural Readiness — a cornerstone of modern defense and regional security.
We were honored to kick off the dialogue with keynote remarks from Estonia’s Minister of Defense, Hanno Pevkur, who set the tone with forward-looking insights on strengthening resilience in an increasingly complex security environment.
The momentum continued with a dynamic panel featuring:
🔹 Anvar Salomets, CEO of Rail Baltic Estonia
🔹 Claes Björkstén, CEO of Conlog
🔹 Christa Torm, Public Policy Lead for Nordics and Baltics, AWS
Skillfully moderated by Jesse Kivisaari, Chairman of the AmCham Defense, Security & Resilience Committee, the conversation explored how infrastructure, innovation, and cross-border cooperation are shaping the future of regional defense.
A big, heartfelt thank you to our outstanding speakers for sharing their expertise and sparking meaningful dialogue.
We were also delighted to welcome our partners AmCham Finland and AmCham Sweden — your participation strengthened the Nordic-Baltic collaboration that is more important now than ever.
And of course, this event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors — AWS, Palo Alto Networks, and Raytheon RTX. Thank you for helping bring this important conversation to life.
Great conversations, new connections, and shared purpose — today’s luncheon was a powerful reminder that resilience is built together.
