How Education Finland supports international partnerships
Through our global networks, market intelligence and international partnerships, we support our members in understanding the needs of different education systems and markets, enabling them to develop relevant, high-quality solutions for international partners.
We facilitate connections between our member organisations and key decision-makers through international events, trade fairs, expert networks and business delegations. We also strengthen the capabilities of Finnish education providers by supporting the development of their international services, partnerships and expertise, while encouraging collaboration between organisations to offer complementary solutions and broader expertise.
In addition, we promote the visibility of Finnish education expertise globally through marketing, communications and international advocacy. By building awareness of the strengths of the Finnish education system and its providers, we help create new opportunities for collaboration and investment and increase the global recognition of Finnish education excellence.
For international partners, this means easier access to trusted Finnish education organisations, innovative solutions and experienced collaborators capable of supporting education development in diverse contexts around the world.
Background on Education Finland
Finland’s exceptional results in education made its educational concept and image famous worldwide. This gave rise to a global market opportunity in the field of education and learning, and it was identified as one of the Finnish government’s key export programs. In the latter half of 2015, Education Finland (originally named Future Learning Finland) was picked as a growth program supported by the government, with a clear objective and focus on creating opportunities and opening doors for the export of Finnish education services. It is managed by Finnish National Agency for Education and works within the Team Finland network
