Consulate General of Finland in New York’s Post

Consulate General of Finland in New York reposted this

Every year in late August, heads of Finland’s diplomatic missions abroad convene at their annual meeting in Helsinki. The official meeting on 26-28 August is preceded and followed by numerous events organized by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and by other organizations and stakeholders, including Finnish companies. Today, had a wonderful opportunity to join a panel organized by Amcham Finland Alexandra Pasternak-Jackson together with the incoming Ambassador of Finland in Washington Leena-Kaisa Mikkola and my colleague in Los Angeles Okko-Pekka Salmimies. The event was hosted by DLA Piper Finland. Entitled “Finnish Ambassadors’ Insight: Geopolitics and Business in the U.S. Market”, the event focused on the growing opportunities for Finnish businesses in the U.S. It was great to see many familiar faces among the audience, including Reggie Rusan! Later in the day, IQM Quantum Computers hosted a number of ambassadors at their HQ in Espoo. Thank you Jouni Flyktman, Vice President, and Milja Kalliosaari, Government Relations Manager, for the excellent briefings! I look forward to seeing IQM at the Quantum World Congress in Virginia next month and at our own event in New York in October.
