Save the dates: upcoming international trips, delegations and fairs with Business Tampere

Entering a new market is not trivial. Different regulations, business practices, and networks take time to understand. It can feel like a big step to take alone. That’s why we do it together.

Through business delegations and international fairs, we help you get access to the right people, start relevant discussions, and build your network in new markets. We also strengthen your position in the customer’s eyes by linking your offering to the wider Finnish story, our ecosystems and strengths.

The message is simple: opportunities rarely come to you – you need to meet them where they are. But you don’t have to do it on your own. To some markets we can even support you financially through our projects.
