DevelopmentAid announces a new partnership agreement with Government of Finland

As part of its continuing mission to better serve the international community, DevelopmentAid is proud to announce that it has signed a new partnership agreement with Finland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).

This new collaboration between DevelopmentAid and Finland’s MFA will allow small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) from Finland unlimited free access to DevelopmentAid’s world-class tools and services, during a one-year period.

Thus, Finnish SMEs will have access to:

  • Worldwide business opportunities (tenders)
  • Worldwide funding opportunities (grants)
  • Intelligence and analysis of donor and funding agencies
  • Matchmaking tools for finding partners for consortium and joint ventures
  • Research tools for evaluating potential partners and competitors
  • Historical data on project awards and shortlists
  • Information about sanctioned firms

This new partnership agreement between DevelopmentAid and Finland will be implemented through the aegis of Finland’s innovation and trade promotion agency Business Finland. Business Finland specializes in helping local companies succeed on the global market as well as working to make Finland an attractive and competitive business environment for investors. Business Finland has over 750 employees located in 16 offices across Finland as well as 40 locations overseas.

Well over 98% of the businesses in Finland are classified as SMEs, which are defined as being a company with 250 or fewer employees and an annual turnover of less than €50 million.

The new partnership between DevelopmentAid and the government of Finland will give local companies better access to funding sources and an enhanced ability to identify business opportunities as they grow internationally. DevelopmentAid’s cutting-edge tools and resources will also help Finland-based SMEs find partnerships for consortium or joint ventures for international and domestic projects.

The duration for the new partnership agreement is one year.
