Summary:
The Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Team Finland have published a world market report, which shows that Finland’s opportunities in exports have grown despite the uncertain world markets. Urbanisation increases particularly the need for clean environmental solutions such as water, waste water and renewable energy. The share of services has grown in Finnish exports. Though the TTIP negotiations are no longer advancing, Finland succeeds in the US clean technology markets. Thanks to the CETA agreement between EU and Canada, Finland can enter markets in arctic seafaring and energy production. Furthermore, Finland is negotiating with several Asian countries.
