Finnish cleantech companies have been invited to join the visit. Vexve's Middle-East Export Director Petri Tuominen is participating this visit.

The Suez Canal economic zone is expected to grow strongly in the upcoming years, which is why big changes are taking place in Egypt. Seeking to modernize and diversify its economy and services, Egypt is targeting the development of renewable energy production, health care and education.

In support of Egypt's development plans, international financiers and European Union institutions have launched major funding programs. This also means a growing demand for Finnish cleantech, ICT, health and education expertise.
