Testimonial from one of the Finnish Mentees:

“I participated in the Nordic Mentorship Program 2021-2022. I was just starting up my own business and I was looking to have someone to exchange my ideas with and to learn more about the UAE´s business world. During our meetings with my mentor, we discussed about concrete actions to be taken when starting up a business and brainstormed around my original business idea. Having someone experienced share his knowledge about the business life in this region helped me focus on the right things and it was just the kind of support and couching that I needed. Throughout the year Nordic Business Councils organized events for all the attendees in the program and these events were perfect for networking and having meaningful discussions with like-minded people. The best thing about this program is that the mentorship is built entirely on your personal goals and together with the mentor you try to find ways to achieve them. I highly recommend this program to everyone.” - Saara Santanen

The first Nordic Padel Tournamnet in Dubai was a success!

On Friday the 4th February the very first Nordic Padel Tournament was played in Dubai. It was organised by the Finnish, Swedish and the Danish Business Council. 48 players turned up battling in teams of two to win the tournament in three draws at Real Racket Academy, Dubai.

Out of six FBC teams participating, four teams made it to the finals and FBC team took the win in draw B. The winners walked away with great prizes from the fantastic sponsors such as a yacht trip for 15 persons and champagne sponsored by Centaurus, Bifocal sunglasses, sponsored by Sunread, Padel lessons and court timings sponsored by Real Racket Academy and the new Swedish-owned Club Padel. Evy also offered sunscreen to the players to stay protected against the sun and two lucky winners walked away with their sunscreen.

FBC would also like to thank Media One Hotel for sponsoring face towels which were recycled bath towels. Ella´s Eatery kept the players energy levels up with snacks and juices and Tetra Pak kept everyone hydrated with their packaged water.
