Team Finland visits
You get a 25 % discount on Team Finland visits as a member. We organize export promotion visits to regions with the best business opportunities.
EastCham organizes visits in cooperation with embassies. We bring companies together and organize a business program. An ambassador leads Finnish business delegations. The visits are planned according to regional opportunities and the wishes of Finnish companies. B2B negotiations with local companies will be carried out based on a preliminary survey of Finnish companies.
In addition to formal meetings with the regional management, we visit local companies, where Finnish companies will have the opportunity to present themselves and offer their products and services. Over the years, these visits have led to tangible benefits, and the participating companies have signed important business deals.
