Finnpartnership

Finnfund manages Finnpartnership, a business partnership programme, which is financed by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and has been operating since 2006. Finnpartnership offers financial support and advisory services for Finnish companies and other organisations planning commercially viable projects in developing countries.

Finnpartnership’s services aim to increase commercial co-operation between companies in Finland and those in developing countries, to promote imports from developing countries, to stimulate their economic growth, to diversify their production and export structures and otherwise foster their development.

Business Partnership Support and new partners

Business Partnership Support is available for conducting feasibility studies, identifying business partners, training employees of the partner, importing and providing expert services for capacity building. In 2012 support could also be granted for pilot projects concerning Finnish environmental technology.

Year 2013 brings along changes to the general terms and conditions of the Business Partnership Support, and new supportable project phases are vocational education and training and support for local education, and piloting technology and solutions.

Finnpartnership’s Matchmaking service helps companies in developing countries in their search for Finnish business partners.
