CzechInvest exhibits at the leading Finnish trade fair, Alihankinta, for the first time

Representatives of CzechInvest attended the Alihankinta trade fair in Tampere, Finland, from 27 to 29 September 2016. Alihankina is the biggest supplier trade fair in Finland and is attended by important firms in the areas of mechanical engineering, electronics and electrical engineering, and other sectors. The most recent edition of the event, which has been held annually since 1988, attracted a record number of visitors. One thousand exhibitors from twenty countries presented the latest trends in their respective sectors to eighteen thousand specialists and provided an outstanding overview of Finnish industry.

CzechInvest’s representatives presented the Czech Republic as an ideal location for development of business activities and familiarised those in attendance with the services that the agency offers to investors. Thanks to cooperation with the Czech embassy in Helsinki, the Czech Republic had its own stand at the trade fair for the first time. In addition to the agency’s representatives, the workshop focused on suppliers, which CzechInvest organised in cooperation with the embassy, also featured appearances by Jaroslav Mandys, head of the economic section of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Helsinki, and Antti Jokinen, honorary consul of the Czech Republic in Finland.
