Gateway to New York
New York and Helsinki form a powerful transatlantic corridor for innovation, investment, talent, and trade between Europe and the United States.
Helsinki serves as a gateway to the Nordic region, while New York remains a leading gateway to the U.S. market. Together, the two hubs foster collaboration across technology, infrastructure, sustainability, and economic growth through strong public-private partnerships and strategic exchange.

Women’s Leadership Program Luncheon
On the 9th of March, more than 60 women gathered at Scandinavia House in New York for the inaugural luncheon of the FACC-NY Women’s Leadership Circle.
The initiative creates a platform for dialogue, mentorship, and connection among women leading across industries within the Finnish–U.S. community.
In her keynote address, Kristiina Helenius reflected on a global career spanning journalism, diplomacy, and international business, highlighting the growing geopolitical importance of critical minerals and the strategic role they play in today’s global competition.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in launching this new platform for leadership and exchange.
