Team Finland targets in Egypt
Finland's political and economic relations with Egypt are good. There is interest in Finnish expertise in Egypt, especially in the fields of high technology, environment and education. Egypt's consumer market is the largest in the Middle East and offers plenty of opportunities for Finnish companies. Finland has a lot of expertise to offer particularly in the areas of circular economy, energy, ICT, education and health technology. (Read more about the trade and economic relations between Finland and Egypt.)
The Team Finland actors in Cairo seek to promote Finnish companies' access to the market, and to create new partnerships in the region. Finland has had long-lasting and effective commercial partnerships in Egypt, for example in the forest industry and in the IT and construction sectors.
Egypt's economic development is supported through commercial economic cooperation and institutional cooperation, as well as through financing regional programs implemented by international organizations. Furthermore, up until 2007 Finland had fruitful bilateral development cooperation with Egypt, which has provided a good basis for developing trade relations.
The Embassy in Cairo promotes Finnish know-how and markets Finland's strengths in Egypt by sharing information about Finland. Events and press relations play an important role in public diplomacy. Moreover, we share information through our website, Facebook page, as well as our Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Team Finland promotes building connections between Finnish and Egyptian research institutes and educational institutions. These contacts help strengthen Finland’s positive image in Egypt.
