Business delegation to Brazil highlighted in NordicLight

The Leap4Growth project aims to support at least one hundred technology companies from Estonia, Latvia, Finland and Sweden in securing export deals in the Greater Bay Area (via Hong Kong) and Vietnam. Our previous update offered a closer look at the team’s autumn visit to Hong Kong. This time we turn our attention to Vietnam.

To support 100 SMEs on their way toward export in the Greater Bay Area and Vietnam, the Leap4Growth team began with the most important step: understanding the markets from the inside. Before inviting companies to join delegations in 2026, we travelled to both regions to meet local partners, map opportunities, understand the business culture and identify what it actually takes to grow there. The result is a clearer picture of where Nordic and Baltic SMEs can succeed, and what they need to prepare for. Here is part one: Hong Kong.

Drone technology companies now have the chance to take their next step on the international stage — the IAS Business Academy 2026 growth programme offers support to companies in the field of Innovative Aerial Services (IAS) from Finland, Sweden, and Estonia. Applications open on October 20 and close on December 2.
