Transatlantic Opportunity 2025

Warmly welcome to Amcham Finland’s Flagship Event, Transatlantic Opportunity, on April 10, where we will explore the latest developments in the U.S.-Finland economic relationship. This year, we are proud to co-host the event with KPMG. It will also mark the launch of the 2025 U.S.–Finland Economic Deep Dive, our annual survey of trade, investment, and the evolving economic ties between Finland and the U.S.

The transatlantic partnership between the United States and the EU is facing a range of challenges. Recent developments have underscored the complexities of this relationship, making it more important than ever to foster dialogue and collaboration. Leveraging economic data and strengthening private and public sector ties between the U.S. and Finland will be key in addressing these challenges.

You’ll hear from leaders on their views and experiences of commercial success between the two countries, shedding light on the current landscape and future potential of transatlantic business. Speakers include:
