Modirum Platforms Unifies in Bold Bid for EMEA Tech Leadership

HELSINKI, FINLAND – January 07, 2026 – European deep-tech provider Modirum Platforms has initiated a sweeping strategic transformation, unifying its operations into a single entity and reorganizing its global structure around regional business units. The move, effective January 1, 2026, is a calculated play to consolidate its market position and accelerate its ambition to become the EMEA leader in enterprise software for protecting and optimizing critical infrastructure.

This overhaul follows a period of rapid expansion for the company, which completed three strategic acquisitions between 2024 and 2025. By integrating these previously separate entities, Modirum Platforms aims to create a more powerful, cohesive force in the high-stakes sectors of government, finance, energy, and telecommunications.

"The move to a unified organization is a logical next step in Modirum Platforms' evolution," stated Tero Silvola, CEO of Modirum Platforms. "This shift enables a significant increase in commercial resources, now operating as one company, stronger, more competitive platforms and R&D pipelines, systematic growth, and greater value to customers."

Forging a Unified Front from Acquisitions

The foundation of this transformation lies in the integration of three key companies acquired over the past two years: Finland-based Mentura Group and Cloudriven, and Macedonia-based ITgma. Until now, these businesses have operated as distinct entities under the Modirum umbrella. The new "Operating as One" strategy aims to dissolve these internal silos and forge a single, powerful platform leveraging their combined strengths.

Mentura Group, a global player in critical communication software, brought deep expertise in public safety and secure private networks. Its acquisition significantly bolstered Modirum's capabilities in the critical communications sector. ITgma, a leading software and IT services provider in Southeast Europe, provided a crucial gateway to markets in the DACH region, the Balkans, and the Middle East, particularly within the telecom and finance industries. Finally, the AI-centric solutions from Cloudriven have infused Modirum’s portfolio with advanced predictive capabilities, enhancing its deep-tech offerings.

The synergy from this integration is central to the company's strategy. By combining Mentura's secure communication platforms, ITgma's market access and service delivery excellence, and Cloudriven's AI prowess, Modirum is positioning itself to offer a holistic suite of solutions for protecting and optimizing essential services. This unified approach is designed to drive innovation, improve operational efficiency, and provide customers with more robust, integrated, and intelligent systems.

A Strategy of Proximity: The Shift to Regional Hubs

A cornerstone of the new strategy is a decisive shift away from product-line silos and toward a customer-centric, regional model. The company has established several regional business units, including Nordics, Americas, Brazil, Central Europe, South & East Europe, and the Middle East. Each region will be led by a dedicated General Manager tasked with understanding and responding to local market needs.

This structural change is a direct response to market feedback. "Customers have been clear: being closer matters," explained Sami Honkaniemi, the newly appointed Chief Operating Officer. "Organizing around markets and clients rather than product lines will equip us to serve all customers to the best of our ability. A local presence is essential to safeguard societies and optimize critical services."

This regional focus does not mean sacrificing global efficiency. To support the new structure, Modirum has also created a global delivery unit, headed by Dr. Maged Shoukry as Senior Vice President. This central unit will manage all delivery operations and global capacity, ensuring that regional teams have the scalable resources and flexible support needed to execute complex projects. This hybrid model aims to provide the best of both worlds: the tailored service and market intimacy of a local partner, backed by the power and scalability of a global technology organization.

New Leadership for a New Era

To steer this transformation, Modirum Platforms has announced a slate of new leadership appointments, blending seasoned executives with talent integrated from its recent acquisitions. Sami Honkaniemi, formerly the Managing Director of the acquired Mentura Group, steps into the critical role of Chief Operating Officer. His appointment signals a commitment to integrating acquired expertise at the highest level of the company's operational leadership.

Jukka Koskenkanto has been named Chief Solution Strategist, a role that places him at the heart of Modirum’s innovation engine. He will lead the company's Research Lab and oversee the development of new solutions and strategic initiatives, ensuring the company remains on the cutting edge of deep-tech and AI. His extensive background in technology strategy and innovation will be pivotal in realizing the company's long-term vision.

The regional strategy is being put into action with the appointment of several General Managers, including Evelina Georgieva for Central Europe, Risto Kolev for South & East Europe, Petri Anttila for the Nordics, Filip Petkov for the Middle East, and Marcos Daniel for Brazil. These leaders will be the face of Modirum in their respective markets, responsible for driving growth and building deep customer relationships.

The Competitive Landscape and EMEA Ambition

Modirum Platforms' ambition to become the EMEA leader in its field is a bold one. The critical infrastructure protection market is a complex and competitive space, populated by global defense and technology giants as well as specialized cybersecurity firms. However, Modirum is not aiming to compete on all fronts. Instead, its strategy focuses on a specialized niche: providing AI-driven, deep-tech platforms designed specifically for the optimization and security of critical infrastructure.

By unifying its diverse technological assets and sharpening its focus, the company is betting that it can offer a level of specialized expertise that larger, more generalized players cannot match. The emphasis on co-development with clients, embedding engineering teams within regional hubs to facilitate rapid feedback and iteration, further differentiates its approach.

This transformation is more than an internal reorganization; it is a strategic repositioning designed to capture a significant share of a growing and increasingly vital market. As governments and industries worldwide grapple with escalating cyber threats and the need for more efficient, resilient infrastructure, the demand for specialized solutions like those offered by Modirum is set to increase. This strategic realignment is Modirum's definitive statement of intent to not only compete but lead in the high-stakes arena of protecting the world's most essential digital and physical assets.
