Collaboration with the British Embassy
The British Embassy in Helsinki plays an active role in the Association’s activities and the British Ambassador is a member of its board. The Association appreciates the support received from the Trade and Investment team in the Embassy, particularly in relation to enquiries related to bilateral trade, investment and the business environment.
The Embassy in return values the contribution members of the Association make to its commercial work. This takes the form of briefing visiting British businesses and advising on trade opportunities.
