FinnCham South China at the 2nd Greater Bay Area State-Owned Enterprises Supply Chain Collaboration Conference & Supply Chain Collaboration Exhibition
In December, FinnCham South China had the honor of representing Finland at the 2nd Greater Bay Area State-Owned Enterprises Supply Chain Collaboration Conference & Supply Chain Collaboration Exhibition, at the invitation of the Finnish Water Forum and the International Scientific Exchange Foundation of China.
Finnish Water Forum and FinnCham South China joined a round table discussion on issues related to water sustainability, technology, and cooperation between Finland and China, which was organized as a part of the SOE Supply Chain Collaboration Conference. The event brought together experts, policymakers, and business leaders, such as UPM, from Finland and China to discuss solutions for one of the world’s most pressing challenges: sustainable water management.
The Chamber’s representative engaged with key stakeholders and gained valuable insights into global water technology advancements. Finland’s reputation as a leader in water science and innovation was highlighted throughout the discussions, and there was a shared enthusiasm for collaboration between the two countries.
Key Highlights from the Event:
- Networking Opportunities: Several high-ranking professionals and organizations across multiple industries were engaged, creating a network for potential future partnerships.
- Strategic Insights: Panel discussions emphasized the importance of integrating science and technology into water management. Finland’s best practices in water technology were warmly received and seen as a model for sustainable development.
- Collaboration Opportunities: The event showcased an eagerness from all sides to share expertise, jointly develop innovative solutions, and craft impactful projects together.
- Finnish media representation: The Chairwoman was one of the few foreign representatives at the event, and was given an opportunity to say a few words to the media about Finland’s eagerness to cooperate and share best practices related to water sustainability:

The Chamber was happy to see UPM from Finland represented at the exhibition, and the Chairwoman thanks for the excellent paper sample.
Looking Ahead:
The Chamber aims to facilitate connections between Finnish businesses and international partners to further these initiatives. Members interested in pursuing collaborative opportunities in water technology or related fields are encouraged to reach out to discuss potential next steps.
Join the Next Step:
A high-level event about water sustainability is in the plans for May 2025 in Chengdu. Members interested in participating or supporting this initiative are invited to contact the Chamber for more details. Stay tuned for more!
Together, these connections can be turned into impactful outcomes. Let’s continue building bridges, finding solutions, and working toward a sustainable future.
Warm regards,
Ms. Saara Fu
