KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING: UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS CULTURE LEADS TO BETTER SALES

8.10.2021 09:00

Microsoft Teams

Dear business partner,

Expanding your business and entering new markets require ample resources and careful planning. Running a successful business in Finland does not automatically mean you will succeed with the same methods in other countries. After a thorough market analysis, the next step should be to know your business partners, the people living in your target country.

Please join us for a morning of expert intros to American, Central European, and Arabic business cultures, and learn how to get started in immersing yourself in the way business gets done in different parts of the world.

WHEN: On Friday, 8 October 2021 at 9.00 – 10.30 Helsinki time

WHERE: Microsoft Teams

A link to join the webinar will be sent to those registered closer to the date.

Ms Alexandra Pasternak-Jackson, the CEO of Amcham Finland, and international network covering hundreds of companies, Dr Jan Feller, Managing Director of the German-Finnish Chamber of Commerce, representing one of the world's most widely spread national network, Mag. Markus Nekham, Founder and CEO of NC8, a global cultural communications company based in Austria, and Dr Petra Turkama, Director of Innovation, Assistant Professor of Management at Abu Dhabi University, and the Chair of the Finnish Business Council in the UAE.
