How can Finnish expertise be transformed into international business? What does it take to bring services to new markets, and where can companies find their next growth opportunities?
Service exports offer significant opportunities for Finnish companies to grow internationally. Professional services, digital solutions and other knowledge-based services can reach customers around the world. However, succeeding in international markets requires more than a great service – it takes customer insight, a competitive offering and the ability to turn expertise into commercial success.
At Growth from Global Markets: Taking Services International, we will explore the opportunities in international service business, the key drivers of growth and how Finnish service companies can strengthen their position in global markets.
Throughout the morning, we will explore international service business from the perspectives of industry developments, service development and international business growth. The programme offers expert insights, practical experiences and fresh ideas to support your company’s growth ambitions.
