Crosshill Oy: Trusted Electronics and Strategic Autonomy in European Defence

Crosshill Oy is a Finnish defence and dual-use technology company headquartered in Tampere, specialising in highly secure embedded systems for defence, aerospace, telecommunications and space applications. Its core value proposition lies in the design, testing and manufacture of trusted electronics intended to reduce exposure to backdoors, system manipulation and counterfeit components.

Rather than operating as a prime contractor or platform integrator, the company occupies a specialised layer of the defence value chain: hardware assurance, secure microelectronics, anti-tamper engineering, cryptographic electronics and secure production.
