Advisory boards provide additional insight into the future and disruptions of business
Business Finland has five ongoing missions: Digital Native Finland, Zero Carbon Future, Circular Transition for Zero Waste, Healthcare Reimagined 2035, and Immersive Digital Life. Each mission has been assigned its own expert group as a background committee.
The task of the background committee is to bring their industry expertise and societal perspective to the missions of Business Finland. Advisory boards also provide support for strategic planning with a future perspective. The additional insight they offer into the challenges, opportunities, future disruptions, and prospects of international business is extremely valuable for the success of the missions. The terms of the boards range from two to three years.
The missions cover topics that are undergoing global transformations, requiring solutions to global challenges and offering significant future market opportunities for Finnish businesses.
