Business services help with the situation in Ukraine

The ELY Centre and the TE Office will help companies with a situation analysis due to the situation in Ukraine, to develop their operations and find new export markets. The crisis in Ukraine also impacts energy prices, and energy efficiency, and investments can be promoted, for example, through rural recovery funding and Business Finland’s energy aid.

Business development services

Companies should carry out a comprehensive situation analysis using the Analysis or Consulting service of the development services. With the help of the analysis, you can find out what you should prepare for in the development of your own operations due to the situation in Ukraine. The Consulting section allows the company to directly develop and advance the plans for a specific theme.
