As the year draws to a close, it is time to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and thank everybody for another exciting year. Again this year, we got to work with many new and old clients in various industries and countries. This year's standout observation was that the NATO membership and slowness in the European economy have made many companies and organizations even more curious to explore business opportunities in the North American markets. This trend has been going on for some time but has visibly accelerated. Also, the statistics support this observation as this year, the exports from Finland to the U.S. grew 7.2 percent in Jan-Aug compared to last year. The U.S. has solidified its place in Finland's top 3 trading partners. Last year, it was #1, followed by Sweden and Germany. It was a special year due to the deliveries of big cruise ships. This year, the total value of exports to the U.S. in January-August was €4.5 billion. The new year is expected to be a busy one. It will start in Jan-Feb with the webinars highlighting opportunities in the U.S. green hydrogen production and the U.S. transportation sectors. The webinars will be followed by the second round of the Canadian housing study webinar that was presented earlier this month. Stay tuned by following our LinkedIn page! We are looking forward to the next year to work on many exciting new business development and market research projects.
Our team would like to wish all our clients, partners, and followers very happy holidays 🎄🎅 and warm wishes for the New Year! 🍾 🎇 In keeping with our tradition, we have crafted a new electronic greeting card to share the festive spirit of Vancouver with you. We hope that it adds a touch of holiday cheer to your celebrations.
Jukka Matikainen thank you for this year! I can highly recommend your services to any company and I look forward to continuing our business relationship in 2025! 🤝
