“The visit led by the Minister is important for promoting access to the Kazakhstan market. We are travelling with a select group of companies representing top expertise in sectors important to Kazakhstan, such as mining, energy, construction, water, the environment, forestry, logistics and education. At the core of all our activities are careful groundwork, knowledge of our customers and compliance with sanctions,” says Jaana Rekolainen, CEO of EastCham Finland.
“Kazakhstan has great market potential for Finnish expertise. Rich in natural resources, Kazakhstan is actively seeking solutions for energy production and more sustainable management of natural resources. Here Finnish companies have solutions to offer,” Minister Tavio says.
The collaborative partner on the mission is a Team Finland stakeholder EastCham Finland. They are charting emerging markets in Kazakhstan and helping Finnish companies who are operating in Central Asia.
Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Ville Tavio will lead a trade mission to Almaty and Astana in Kazakhstan on 9–12 April.
