Hedman Joins the Estonian Defence and Aerospace Industry Association

Hedman is now a member of the Estonian Defence and Aerospace Industry Association.

For years, we have advised defence-technology companies on regulatory, commercial, and cross-border matters, and it is an honour to formalise our role as an official partner to the sector.

For us, defence technology is a natural extension of Estonia’s wider tech ecosystem. Many companies in this field have emerged from the startup community, yet the regulatory landscape, export controls, and product deployment pathways are significantly more complex and time-intensive than in other industries.

Joining the Association allows us to contribute where the sector’s operating conditions are shaped. It strengthens our ability to support companies navigating the industry’s legal frameworks and enables us to participate directly in shaping policy discussions with the state and relevant institutions.


Our work focuses on the legal side of defence technology and software:

  • establishing companies
  • structuring investments
  • managing export and import licensing
  • facilitating technology transfer
  • protecting IP
  • advising on AI-driven solutions.

It is a privilege to contribute to a sector that plays such a vital role in Estonia’s security and innovation landscape. And when defence-tech companies have a partner who understands the system, anticipates challenges, and responds quickly, growth becomes significantly easier.
