Sold Out: FACC-NY Strategic Forum Brings Together Diplomats, CEOs, and Policymakers

The Finnish American Chamber of Commerce New York holds its Strategic Forum on September 10, bringing together Finnish and American leaders from business, technology, public policy, and innovation. Keynote speaker James A. Winnefeld Jr., former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, headlines a program that also includes Leena-Kaisa Mikkola, Finland's Ambassador to the United States, and Joakim Strand, Finland's Minister for European Affairs and Ownership Steering.

Corporate leadership is well represented too, with CEOs from Ahlstrom, UPM, Meyer Turku, PwC Finland, and IQM Quantum Computers among the confirmed speakers, alongside senior figures from Citi and NYC's Economic Development Corporation. Panel topics for the day include how Finnish companies build a lasting US presence, public-private partnerships in innovation, and the Nordic position in quantum computing.

The event is sold out, but the full program will stream live in Scandinavia House's Volvo Hall, allowing attendees to follow the panels while holding their own meetings and conversations on the side.
