New Menthorsip Program for Young Professionals
Would you like to mentor someone you can share your knowledge with? Are you looking to be coached by someone to exchange your ideas? Do you value networking? Are you interested in participating in a program that may benefit your personal growth and development, provide career guidance and goal achievement?
We are pleased to announce the launch of our Mentorship Program 2020 for Nordic Young Professionals members. If you would like to become a Young Professionals member in FBC, join here. The yearly membership fee is 250 AED.
Through the Mentorship Program, we link ambitious young professionals with knowledgeable executives and entrepreneurs. Our mission is to promote a mutual exchange of ideas and experience between mentors and mentees. The program provides participants with personal career guidance, ideas, business training and networking opportunities to foster the relationships between the more experienced members and the young professionals. The goal is to create valuable synergies between mentors and mentees, where both can benefit from each other’s experiences.
Mentees, which are Young Professional Members, will get a chance to learn from professionals who have extensive experience in their particular field of expertise. Where they can get professional support with their resume, tips on how to cope with challenges in the workplace, how to make the most out of their careers, as well as realizing business ideas and goals.
Mentors are Nordic Members, and they will surely be amazed with new ideas and fresh ways of thinking, insights of potential recruits and, perhaps most important, the joy of seeing a mentee nourish, grows and succeeds.
The Mentorship Program will benefit both parties in the fields of interest agreed upon by the mentor and the mentee.
If you are interested in participating in the program, please send your interest with a brief introduction about yourself and your contact information to admin@fbcuae.fi before 31st March, 2020. Please note that all applicants must be members of a Nordic Business Council where the mentees are Young Professional members. The participation in the program is free of charge and is subject to availability of a suitable mentor and a mentee.
We hope that you will sign up as soon as possible - either as a mentee, mentor or both if applicable. We look forward to receiving your application!

Finnspace Dubai officially open!
Dubai and the UAE will be in the spotlight because of the Dubai World EXPO2020, spinning the country from October onwards for six months. To optimize business efforts before, during and after EXPO2020, Finnspace was created and officially launched in collaboration with Business Finland and the Finnish Business Council UAE (FBC). Our mission is to bring the Finnish business community under one roof, offering a space to work, collaborate and explore opportunities for new market entries and business expansion – alone or together. A delegation of Finland’s EXPO2020 partners led by Minister Mika Lintilä attended the opening, with minister Lintilä officially cutting the ribbon.
Finnspace offers flexible tenancy options at very competitive prices. Finnspace tenants can also enjoy savings and preferential rates from partners, such as hotels and airlines. Agreements are in place already with five hotels and airlines and more are being negotiated.
As a major trade and travel hub, UAE continues to be a growth market and offers an attractive gateway into GCC and wider MENA markets. Finnspace offers a launch pad for exploiting these market opportunities and helps you build a map of the territory. Why get lost in space?
Finnspace offices are conveniently located en route to EXPO2020 site in Dubai Marina Plaza. The hub-in-hub hosts many other companies, bringing further opportunities to explore. Many Finns reside and work in the popular hotel and business district.
Finnspace branding was created by a Finnish agency. Redland will join as one of the first members of Finnspace. Six companies are already using the space and more are joining shortly.
