Hong Kong–Tampere Afternoon: Business in Motion

A Slush Week Business Side Event in Tampere City What happens when Hong Kong meets Tampere? Business starts moving. During Slush Week, we are bringing the Hong Kong business and innovation ecosystem to Tampere for an afternoon of market insights, company showcases and new connections. Meet representatives from HKETO, HKTDC and InvestHK , alongside tech companies travelling from Hong Kong to Tampere — and connect with Nordic companies, innovators and business leaders interested in international growth. Hong Kong also offers a gateway into the Greater Bay Area (GBA) — one of the world’s most dynamic innovation and technology ecosystems. The Shenzhen–Hong Kong–Guangzhou cluster has ranked #1 globally in WIPO’s Innovation Cluster Ranking for two consecutive years, in 2025 and 2026 . This is an opportunity to look beyond the market from a distance — and meet the people who can help you explore it. What to expect: Discover Hong Kong Get first-hand insights from HKETO, HKTDC and InvestHK on the Hong Kong market, business environment and opportunities for Nordic companies.
