Kyiv office services
In April 2024, we opened a joint office in Kyiv with the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK). The head of the Kyiv office, Senior Business Advisor Olena Kutsai, advises companies on issues related to the Ukrainian market and reconstruction. The advice is only available to members of EastCham and EK.
The reconstruction of Ukraine is also discussed in the monthly Rebuild Ukraine Update from Kyiv webinars organized by EastCham and EK.
Clubs
We organize clubs on current themes and topics with presentations. The presenters are representatives of our member companies and the best experts in our target markets. The clubs are an excellent opportunity to network with other members. We also organize clubs as hybrid events, allowing remote participation.
News and weekly newsletter for member companies
Our news desk produces news that is only available to members. They are compact and quickly readable current information about trade, economy, business environments, and the development of our target markets. We focus on monitoring the emerging markets of Central Asia and the South Caucasus, the future reconstruction of Ukraine, the development of Moldova, and economic sanctions. We also strengthen the good Finland brand by highlighting the expertise, products, services, and innovations of Finnish companies.
We introduce our member companies, publish expert interviews, and delve into current topics in slightly longer articles. We write about our events and training sessions, to which our member companies are welcome as speakers, trainers, and partners.
The news are published in Finnish, but we publish some of them in English as well. The most important news and the latest articles are always found in our weekly member newsletter, which is sent by email every Wednesday.
Team Finland Visits: Member Benefit -25%
As a member, you get a 25% price advantage on Team Finland visits. We organize export promotion visits to markets that offer the best business opportunities.
The visits are organized in cooperation with Team Finland and embassies. Our chamber of commerce gathers companies and organizes the business program. The Finnish business delegation is led by an ambassador or minister. The visits are planned according to regional opportunities and the wishes of Finnish companies. B2B negotiations with local companies are conducted based on a preliminary survey among Finnish companies.
In addition to official meetings with regional management, we visit local companies where Finnish companies can present themselves and offer their products and services. Over the years, the visits have led to concrete benefits, and participating companies have made significant deals.
Advocacy
Members can communicate business-related issues to the public administration of their market areas through the chamber of commerce and influence the handling of economic and trade policy issues. Members also have the opportunity to meet business and government delegations.
Our key partners in business advocacy are the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, the Team Finland network, including Finnish embassies and consulates, the Confederation of Finnish Industries, the Central Chamber of Commerce, the East Office of Finnish Industries, the Federation of Finnish Enterprises, regional chambers of commerce, and Finnish embassies in various countries.
