The visit will also highlight Finnish expertise in the games industry. At the Finnish Game Industry Showcase, Finnish gaming companies will present their expertise and network with US stakeholders.
“My visit to Los Angeles is an excellent opportunity to strengthen cooperation between Finland and the United States. Los Angeles is an important game industry hub for Finns, but the city also offers considerable market opportunities for solutions to twin transitions, clean energy, circular economy and the port sector. Finnish companies have a great deal to offer to California markets,” says Minister Ville Tavio.
Finland’s Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Ville Tavio will visit Los Angeles on 13–16 March 2024. During his visit, Minister Tavio will sign a letter of intent agreed between the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the City of Los Angeles on clean transition and digitalisation. The Minister will also present Finnish expertise in clean energy, port security and the games industry.
“The joint Nordic premises are a fine example of practical and close Nordic co-operation in the United States,” says Minister Tavio.
