Here are three highlights from Finnpartnership’s October newsletter for the Vision Finland network:

🔹 Growing demand for business partnership support
Finnpartnership had already received more than 100 Business Partnership Support applications by early October. Vietnam is among the most popular destinations for projects receiving support this year, alongside Ukraine, India, Kenya and Rwanda.

🔹 Finnish healthcare expertise in Vietnam
On 2 October, Finnpartnership, the Embassy of Finland in Hanoi and E Hospital brought together healthcare companies and organisations to explore Finnish expertise in smart hospitals and digital healthcare. Discussions focused on how Finnish solutions could meet Vietnam’s healthcare needs and create opportunities for cooperation.

🔹 Support for taking the first steps
Finnpartnership’s Business Partnership Support helps Finnish companies assess opportunities and prepare to establish operations in emerging markets. Its free B2B Matchmaking service also helps companies find local business partners.

The next online application workshop in English takes place on 12 November.

Is your company exploring opportunities in Vietnam or elsewhere in Southeast Asia? Finnpartnership’s services are worth exploring early in the planning process.
