Major multi-billion EUR investments are being directed toward the energy, circular economy, mining, education, and digitalization sectors, where vast opportunities lie for Finnish firms to tap into. As these sectors evolve swiftly, LAC has become a hotspot for international business, creating an ideal moment for Finnish companies to engage with the region.
