Finnish Business Council
About
FBC serves both corporate and individual members, creating a dynamic platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and business development. The council organizes a diverse calendar of activities including business breakfasts, panel discussions, Nordic Sundowner networking events, and specialized seminars on topics ranging from market entry strategies to geopolitical trends. Through close collaboration with fellow Nordic business councils (Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish), FBC provides its members access to a broader regional network of thousands of Nordic professionals.
The organization supports the Team Finland initiative and actively contributes to strengthening the Finnish business presence in the UAE. With over 20 years of operation, FBC has evolved from a small group of companies into a vibrant community that combines professional business activities with social and cultural events, including the successful Nordic Mentorship Program and various Finnish cultural celebrations. The council serves as an essential resource for Finnish companies seeking to establish or expand their operations in the UAE market.
