"We started our operations in the US in 2019 and this country, especially California, offers our company many possibilities. Demand for sustainable solutions will grow massively in the future and it is great for us to be a Member of FACC, which is promoting both Finnish and cleantech companies. We have had a great start on US soil but there is more to come. As a Board Member, I want to help other Finnish businesses to succeed, and this also allows me to learn from other professionals in the global business field." |
