The business environment has changed dramatically – in Finland, across Europe and globally – as companies face increasingly complex and interconnected threats, including cyberattacks, physical infrastructure damage, energy blackouts, supply chain disruptions, and economic and information warfare, often occurring simultaneously. Miltton is launching an international resilience program to help businesses, critical infrastructure operators and public institutions strengthen their crisis preparedness and operational continuity. The initiative draws on Ukraine’s practical experience of maintaining essential operations, adapting to evolving threats and developing new solutions during the full-scale invasion.
Since February 2022, Ukraine has faced sustained missile and drone attacks, cyberattacks, energy blackouts, supply chain disruptions, information operations and continuous pressure on critical infrastructure. Yet across virtually every sector of the economy and society, Ukrainian organizations have learned not only to survive, but to maintain essential functions, adapt their operations, rebuild damaged systems and, in some cases, continue to invest and grow.
Finland’s National Emergency Supply Agency (NESA) highlighted a key lesson from Ukraine in its 2026 report, informed by study visits supported by Miltton Ukraine: resilience is not about protecting individual assets, but ensuring that entire systems can continue operating, recover and adapt under pressure. This requires businesses across sectors to understand their critical dependencies and prepare for disruptions together.
Unlike conventional crisis simulations, Ukraine’s experience has been shaped by real operational decisions, tested and refined under continuous pressure. For businesses, the challenge is not simply to have emergency plans in place, but to ensure that people, leadership, infrastructure, suppliers, financial systems and communications can continue functioning when several critical systems are disrupted simultaneously.
Miltton’s new initiative aims to bridge the gap between theoretical preparedness and real-world experience by making Ukraine’s operational knowledge accessible and applicable to international organizations. Through sector-specific modules delivered in Ukraine, participants will engage directly with infrastructure operators, authorities and security experts, examine real-world cases and test their own preparedness through facilitated exercises.
“Most companies have a continuity plan. Far fewer have tested how their leadership makes decisions when power, information systems and communications fail at the same time, the information available is incomplete, and nobody can yet say whether this is an accident, a crime or an attack. Ukrainian operators have been making exactly those decisions since 2022. This program lets Finnish executives learn from that experience and test their own organization against it, before a real crisis does it for them.”

“Ukrainian companies have developed remarkable solutions through rapid adaptation, innovation and, often, trial and error. This experience has value far beyond Ukraine. We believe Ukraine should be seen not only as a recipient of international assistance, but also as a source of unique knowledge and practical solutions that can strengthen Europe’s resilience and security. Our ambition is to bring this expertise to international businesses and institutions, helping them better understand the threats they may face and prepare for them.”
