Team Youngkin: Strengthening Virginia’s Relationships Around the World

This week, Governor Glenn Youngkin met with President Stubb of Finland to discuss best practices for strengthening the business relationship between Virginia and Finland, including mutual trade and investment initiatives.

 

Finland is a significant player in cross continental relationships for Virginia. As one of the fastest-growing sources of foreign direct investment in the United States, Finnish industry sectors such as shipbuilding, logistics and IT/software naturally pair with existing business ecosystems in Virginia. Virginia exported $49M in products to Finland in 2023 and imported $93M in goods from Finland.
