Investopia, the global investment platform has announced the partnership with Business Finland at its annual 2023 conference held at Abu Dhabi in March. This partnership, between Investopia and a leading economic organization from Finland, aims to explore investment opportunities in Africa. Business Finland, the government organization for innovation funding, trade and investment promotion and travel, had an influential presence at Investopia 2023 with their active participation in the conference sessions and a roundtable attended by global business leaders.
Timo Metsä-Tokila, Executive Director and CFO of Business Finland, believes Finland’s partnerships in future shaping solutions are in high demand and provides great opportunities for both industry players and the greater society. Business Finland assists in the realisation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in addition to creating value from large companies to small, innovative ones and research institutions, in alignment with Investopia’s mission.
Further speaking of the opportunities, Victoria Ivanova, Senior Advisor of Business Finland, was highly enthusiastic of Investopia’s potential to bring global and transformative impact. During the Investopia 2023 Conference, a roundtable featured two unique African growth projects: Isiswe, the hub for commercially viable broadband connectivity, and the Prieska copper-zinc mining project that is developing a carbon-neutral mine.
