Our services 

The services of our missions abroad are available to your company. We provide up-to-date market information, facilitate establishing contacts and help in market access issues. 

The services provided by the missions are part of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs’ business services. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs is a member of Team Finland, a network of public sector actors providing internationalisation services to Finnish companies.

The Team Finland network promotes Finland and its interests abroad: the internationalisation of Finnish enterprises, investments in Finland, and the country brand. The Team Finland operating model brings together the key actors and services in these fields. The core of the network consists of Finland’s network of diplomatic missions, Business Finland, Finnvera, and the regional internationalisation services, built upon the ELY Centres. Other actors such as the ministries, national culture and science institutes, Finnfund, or Chambers of commerce are partners of the Team Finland network.

The Team Finland network will help your enterprise become more international, grow, and succeed in the global market. For more information on services to companies seeking internationalisation, see Team Finland website.

Objectives of the Team Finland network in India

Team Finland makes Finland’s image in India and the other countries covered by the Embassy of Finland in New Delhi increasingly known built on the focal themes mentioned above, concrete flagship projects and a few fundamental messages. The central idea of the country brand is based on concrete examples of a welfare society making use of clean technologies. This is also the foundation in attracting investments from India and her neighbouring countries to Finland. Team Finland Partners take advantage of their social media channels and high-quality publications in disseminating knowledge about Finland. Key target groups are national and state level policy-makers, business and science leaders and media personalities.

Team Finland encourages various players promoting Finland and Finnish business into increasingly better cooperation.
