The WTC Turku Internationalisation Award is presented annually to a company based in Southwest Finland that has demonstrated long-term growth and exemplary performance in international markets.
The award has its roots in the Turku Chamber of Commerce Export Award. Starting in 2023, the award will be known as the WTC Turku Internationalisation Award, and it will be presented by World Trade Center Turku in collaboration with other organisations that support internationalisation in the region.
The winning company must have been operating internationally for at least three years, demonstrated growth and financial stability, and set an example for other companies through its innovation and activity in global business.
