Responsibilities of Business Turku
Business Turku has been a partner organization in the Enterprise Europe Network since 2008. The EEN team provides internationalisation advisory services for SMEs, for example by helping companies find market information, identify international business partners, and explore suitable funding opportunities.
A key tool of the network is the Partner Opportunities Database, where business, technology and project cooperation partner search profiles across the network are published. Business Turku also organises business matchmaking events, seminars and webinars together with other network partners to support companies’ international growth.
