AHK Vietnam - Delegation of the German Industry and Commerce in Vietnam’s Post

🌍 In recent years, Finnish companies have increasingly set their sights on the United States. This shift is evident in my own work, as brand protection measures in the U.S. have risen, while, for example, trademark applications in China have significantly decreased since the "boom years." Now, most experts predict that a new term for Donald Trump will bring tougher times for Finnish businesses in the U.S. market. Once again, the question arises: where can Finnish companies find alternative markets to the U.S. and the struggling economies of the EU and China? 🌏 The answer is simple yet rarely highlighted in Finnish media and discussions: Southeast Asia. The region has over 600 million people and boasts rapid economic growth with political stability. Political barriers to trade perhaps exist only in two smaller countries, Myanmar and Laos. Other Southeast Asian countries—particularly the more developed and/or larger markets like #indonesia, #vietnam, #thailand, #malaysia, #philippines, and #singapore are highly promising for Finnish companies. There’s growing demand for various #consumergoods, #greentechnology and #constructiontechnology, #education, and #digitalsolutions, just a few to mention. 📉 Yet, many Finnish companies in this sectors still don’t fully understand or dare to explore this market seriously. Unsurprisingly, companies from other Nordic countries have established a much stronger foothold in the region over the years. Yesterday, Finland-Southeast Asia Business Association hosted a hybrid event on 🇲🇾 Malaysia’s business and investment opportunities. Companies like Peikko Group Corporation and Sandvik shared their success stories in Malaysia. We also heard insightful presentations from Business Finland and Malaysian Investment Development Authority on business opportunities, along with how the Embassy of Finland in Kuala Lumpur and the Embassy of Malaysia in Helsinki can support companies entering the Malaysian market. 🙏 Thank you to all the speakers for their insights! anne vasara Ariff Ali Khairul Azhar Amil Hamzah Mohamed Farid Mohamed Razali Jake Väätäjä VO Kataja

🌏 These are noteworthy developments. As a result of the AHK #AsiaPacific Business Outlook Spring 2024, German companies are increasingly realigning their setup in the Asia-Pacific region with #China becoming a separate region. Consequently, #Japan turns to be the most important or largest #market in the Asia-Pacific region for a number of companies. 👉 Find more information here: https://lnkd.in/gt37ybzt German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK), DIHK #PartnerInJapan #GermanBusinessInJapan #AHKJapan #Shift

Proud to represent Indonesia at the bilateral business delegation forum in Germany, commemorating 100 years of commercial collaborations between the two countries. The business collaborations between Indonesia and Germany have a rich history that dates back to 1924, with the establishment of the bilateral German-Indonesian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (EKONID)—this pivotal moment marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship built on mutual economic interests and strategic cooperation. Over the decades, EKONID has acted as a strategic interface between the two economies, representing the mutual interests of German and Indonesian companies, organisations, and institutions. It has grown to become one of the largest international business chambers in Indonesia, with more than 400 corporate members and institutional partners. The chamber’s efforts have been instrumental in promoting business between the two countries, facilitating trade agreements, investment opportunities, and cultural exchanges that have strengthened the ties between Indonesia and Germany. As we look back over the years, it is clear that the foundation laid by EKONID has been crucial in shaping the economic landscape of both nations. The chamber’s commitment to fostering a conducive environment for business growth and collaboration continues to pave the way for future successes. This enduring partnership is a testament to the shared vision and dedication of both countries to achieve prosperity through cooperation. As we move forward, the history of Indonesia-Germany business collaborations since 1924 serves as an inspiring blueprint for continued cooperation and mutual benefit. #indonesia #germany #ekonid #nickelindustries

Window of opportunity for strong cooperation between Germany and Brazil   During the visit of Consul General Roberto Abdalla and Consul Elter Nehemias Barbosa (Head of the Trade and Investment Department at the Consulate General) to the VDMA (13 May 2024), many common themes became visible. These include the Green Transformation and Sustainable Finance in both countries, for which the capital goods industry plays an important role. The timely conclusion of a free trade agreement between the EU and Mercosur is of great importance for bilateral trade, this could create opportunities beyond trade issues. The Brazilian Consulate General in Frankfurt has recently resumed its support for trade promotion for Brazil and will be organizing an investment conference road show in Frankfurt. The VDMA emphasized the importance of simple procedures when it comes to temporary work visas for assembly work in Brazil.   Photo from left to right:  Consul Elter Barbosa, Dr. Susanne Engelbach, Ulrich Ackermann, Consul General Roberto Abdalla, Maria Flavia do Amaral Verhoeven #vdma #vdmaexport #maschinenhandel  #freihandel #brasil #mercosul
