Mellenion
Our company
We are a research and advisory company working on Arctic, Nordic, and Baltic strategic and defence affairs. Our mission is to reduce uncertainty and support sound decision-making by providing clear, well-grounded strategic and defence analysis for complex operating environments.
Our work combines regional expertise with a practical understanding of defence and policy dynamics, and is intended to be directly relevant to decision-makers.
We maintain high analytical standards and apply established best practices across our research, consulting, and publications. We work independently and with discretion, building long-term professional relationships through consistency and open communication. Continuous learning and improvement are central to our approach.
We have a permanent presence in Helsinki and Stockholm, ensuring close regional coverage and insights.
