On 22 May 2025, EuroCham Vietnam had the pleasure of hosting a Finnish business delegation from the City of Tampere at our Ho Chi Minh City office, as part of their three-week market exploration visit to Vietnam.
EuroCham was delighted to welcome:
- Mr. Jouni Markkanen – Deputy Mayor, City of Tampere
- Mrs. Satu Vuorinen – Head of International Affairs, City of Tampere
- Mr. Sami Puttonen – Business Advisor (Education, NGOs & Scaleups, Business Service Development and Business Environment), Business Tampere
- Mr. Timo Välttilä – Area Sales Director, APAC, Elematic
Representing EuroCham Vietnam were:
- Mrs. Delphine Rousselet – Executive Director
- Mrs. Nora Bihari – Head of Projects, South-East Asia IP SME Helpdesk
- Mr. Benoit Tardy – IP Business Advisor, South-East Asia IP SME Helpdesk
- Ms. Linh Nguyen – Membership & Corporate Relations Manager
During the meeting, EuroCham introduced its mission, services, and structure, as well as the work of the South-East Asia IP SME Helpdesk — a key initiative supporting European SMEs with intellectual property rights in the region.
The discussion also explored potential collaboration areas, particularly around EuroCham’s flagship initiatives such as the Green Economy Forum & Exhibition (GEFE) and Green Economy Forum (GEF). These events were valuable platforms to connect Finnish businesses with local partners, share green innovations, and contribute to Vietnam’s sustainable development.
EuroCham is proud to bridge European businesses and Vietnam’s fast-growing market. We remain committed to offering advocacy support, market intelligence, and meaningful networking opportunities to drive sustainable economic growth.
We thank the Finnish delegation for their visit and look forward to future engagements.
