Two events. Different audiences. A shared Finnish connection.

Bangkok will welcome two important Finnish education initiatives in November 2026. The first brings Finnish and Thai education professionals together to explore cooperation. The second introduces Thai students and families to higher education opportunities in Finland. Together, they show the different ways Finnish expertise connects with Southeast Asia.

Thailand–Finland Education Exchange Forum

5 Nov, 08:30–13:00The Landmark Hotel, Bangkok

Organised jointly by Education Finland and the Embassy of Finland in Bangkok, the forum will bring together education professionals and representatives from Finland and Thailand to share ideas and explore future collaboration.

The forum takes place during an Education Finland delegation visit to Thailand on 4–6 November. The delegation includes seven Finnish education organisations working with expertise, learning solutions and professional education services.

Education Finland is a governmental cluster programme supporting the best education providers in their growth on the international market. The programme is coordinated by the Finnish National Agency for Education.

Participation: The forum has limited capacity. Invitations and attendance arrangements are coordinated by the organisers; it is not being promoted as an open-registration event.
