Business Mission to Oulu (Finland)
Dear Members and Friends of FLCC,
This year we had a very successful Trade Mission to Tampere, as some of you remember it was a well organized and very efficient visit. To my knowledge, some of the participants really benefited from the visit and are now successfully cooperating with companies in Tampere city.
On January 29-31, 2025 we are planning to have a Trade Mission to Oulu. Meanwhile I am working on the visit’s schedule.
If you are interested in participating in the mission, please specify what kind of companies you would be interested to meet or to visit. As you might know Oulu is where Nokia was born and is still very strong there ( we plan to visit Nokia testing center).
On the arrival day we plan to have a get-together evening with Business Oulu and Chamber of Commerce, hosted by the city of Oulu.
The next day we plan to visit Stora Enso and have B2B round table meetings with SME companies mainly from ICT and Health sectors (unless there will be more requests)
In the morning of departure day, January 31 we will visit Nokia’s Otava-testing center.
