Objectives of the Team Finland network in Turkey
Turkey is an important trade partner and one of the key emerging markets for Finland. The regional importance of Turkey offers many possibilities to develop business relations also with countries in the Middle East and North Africa, Southern Caucasus, and Central Asia.
As a part of the Foreign Service of Finland, the Embassy of Finland in Ankara oversees Finnish economic and cultural interests in the host state. The Embassy works in cooperation with Business Finland Trade center in Istanbul and other actors forming Team Finland -network in Turkey. General aim of the network is to actively contribute to the image of Finland as an open and creative forerunner in technology and as a functional society, which is committed to equality, education, and environmental values.
Team Finland -actors support market access and operation of Finnish businesses in Turkey, and they also promote foreign investments in Finland. Development of trade and economic cooperation between Finland and Turkey is supported e.g. by providing public export promotion and internationalisation services. In trade and economic sector, the focus areas are ICT, environment technologies (Cleantech), forestry, energy, and health.
Cultural and other promotional events are arranged especially in the field of design and education. The activities facilitate networking between Finnish and Turkish actors. In communications the Embassy web pages and social media are used to distribute information about Finland.
Finnish honorary consulates
Honorary consulates complement Finland’s network of missions abroad, which consists of embassies, consulates general, consulates and liaison offices. Honorary consuls are private individuals who carry out consular functions on a part-time basis without remuneration. An honorary consul can advise Finnish companies on how to get information on local business culture and find business partners, among other matters.
