Finland will emerge as a strong, reliable partner country as India seeks to leapfrog several generations of standards and leverage the potential of Industry 4.0.”

Thanking the Finnish Ambassador H.E. Ritva Koukku-Ronde and Dr Jukka Holappa, Country Manager, Business Finland, for their steadfast support to FINCHAM, Sanjay outlined four priority areas of Sustainability, Ease of doing business, Market Navigation and B2B Networking as the guiding agenda for detailed action planning.
