This trade mission to Paris, France on April 11–12, 2023 will bring companies in French manufacturing industries together with Finnish solution providers to explore business opportunities related to industrial sustainability and green transition.

Europe is undergoing the green transition, and know-how of solutions to improve sustainability are increasingly sought after. The trade mission will bring companies in French manufacturing industries together with Finnish solution providers to explore business opportunities related to industrial sustainability and green transition. This visit is designed for Finnish companies that have products, solutions, or services to improve industrial sustainability. They may be related, for example, to energy saving & efficiency, reduction of emissions, lifecycle solutions, and determination and minimization of carbon footprint.

During the visit participating Finnish companies will have the opportunity to present their solutions to relevant companies in France as well as hear about their plans related to sustainable development. The participants from France include some of the key clients of Tolson, who are multinational companies from various sectors (e.g. Aerospace, Automotive, Banking, Chemicals, Food & Beverage, Mining, Pharmaceutical …) and who are now looking for innovative solutions to help them accelerate their sustainability transformation. This visit is organized in collaboration with Business Finland’s Sustainable Manufacturing Finland and Decarbonizing Industries (RRF) programs.

Preliminary program

Finnish companies interested in developing and growing their presence in the European market and providing sustainability solutions, such as

  • Visibility solutions on emissions, tools for collecting emission data

  • Circular economy solutions
  • Lifecycle analysis solutions
  • Determination of carbon footprint

Why attend?

This visit provides direct buyer contacts with pre-selected companies in France that are ready to invest in and looking for solutions to achieve their decarbonizing targets.

Why France?

France is the second largest economy in the EU and one of the most active market areas. The gross product of its manufacturing industries is about 260 billion € and it employs more than 3 million people. France is a major influencer of the EU, a home for major global corporations in several sectors such as automotive, banking, aerospace, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, as well as telecommunication. These companies operate globally but all the key decisions regarding Sustainability Transformation are taken at their France Headquarters.
