Is your company the next driver of development? Come and hear about the opportunities for support and funding

The Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Finnpartnership will organise two events in June with a focus on the business opportunities of Finnish companies in different sectors and in the markets of developing countries. The events also provide guidance on what kind of support and funding is available for expanding to new markets.

Developing countries are the fastest growing markets in the world with demand for solutions that contribute to building a prosperous and sustainable society. EU-supported projects in sub-Saharan Africa offer opportunities, especially for Finnish mining, energy, water and digital companies.

Growth through critical minerals and renewable energy in emerging markets event

Time: Tuesday 4 June 2023 from 9 am to 10.30 am
Place: live event at the Musiikkitalo restaurant (Mannerheimintie 13a, Helsinki) or remotely

Professionals in the mining and energy sector, come and hear about the opportunities in the African market and the support available! Welcome to attend the Next Driver of Development event in Helsinki in person or virtually. The event includes discussions on critical minerals and business opportunities linked to renewable energy in Africa, including Namibia and Zambia.

Developing countries are the fastest growing markets in the world with demand for solutions that contribute to building a prosperous and sustainable society. The mining industry is a pillar of both Namibia’s and Zambia’s economies. As a result of the green transition, there is high demand for Finnish expertise in the mining and water sector and opportunities for cooperation in developing market projects supported by the EU, including those concerning the sustainable production of critical minerals and green hydrogen.

Which opportunities are available for Finnish companies? What kind of help and funding is available for expanding to a new market and building growth? Which experiences do Finnish companies already have?

The speakers at the event include Veston Malango Chief Executive Officer, Chamber of Mines of Namibia, Lasse Moilanen Chief Executive Officer, Mining Finland, Oskar Kass, Specialist, Private Sector Instruments, Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Julian Blom, Global Gateway Project Lead, Finnpartnership.
