Join us for a collaborative event organized by the Finnish – Estonian Chamber of Commerce, FECC, the Embassy of Finland in Estonia, and Enterprise Estonia.

Our primary aim is to foster stronger ties between Estonian and Finnish companies and organizations. The forum seeks to inspire new collaborations, exchange best practices, and pave the way for new cross-border partnerships.

This year’s business forum focuses on two major themes:

• Artificial intelligence and opportunities it creates between two neighbouring countries.
• Film and entertainment industry where cooperation is done, but more business opportunities await discovery.
