Betolar - company presentation by Director, Critical Infrastructure Turkka Saari,
Listeds Investor Event: Defence, Helsinki, 21 September 2026.

The company outlines its expanding focus on physical protection for critical infrastructure. It leverages deep materials technology to address rising hybrid threats, sabotage, and physical risks facing European assets like energy grids, data centers, and industrial facilities. Betolar details its engineering innovations; such as multi-layer drone nets and specialized protective structures; alongside its pilot projects, patent portfolio, and market positioning.

Key takeaways:

• Core Business Areas: Betolar's operations rely on deep materials technology across three focus areas: metal extraction technology, circular materials for low-emission construction, and critical infrastructure protection.

• Rising Threats in Europe: European critical infrastructure was not built for modern threat scenarios, driving an urgent need for physical protection against sabotage and hybrid attacks.

• Engineered Drone Defense: Betolar has developed multi-layer drone protection netting designed using specialized materials and spacing to defend assets like transformers, oil terminals, and data centers against large drones.

• Physical Asset Hardening: Protection solutions utilize a mix of concrete, composites, and armored steel to safeguard critical nodes like electricity substation main transformers.

• Commercial Progress: The company initiated its critical infrastructure unit about two years prior, securing a major pilot customer project worth over €1 million alongside filing four pending patents.

• Strategic Partnerships: To expand its reach and implementation capability within the energy sector, Betolar has partnered with industry players such as Enersnse.

• High Market Demand: Strong market interest is driven by asset owners recognizing potential security risks but lacking specialized physical defense solutions.
