FinnCham delegation visit to Shaoguan Guangdong

Inspirational visit to the city of Shaoguan, private and public development projects led by Finncham Guangdong

A delegation from Finncham China traveled to Shaoguan, a vibrant industrial city in the northern part of Guangdong Province. The 3 day visit showcased Shaoguan’s dynamic economic landscape, leaving the delegation thoroughly impressed.

Led by the Finnish Chamber of Commerce Guangdong, the group explored Shaoguan’s thriving industrial ecosystem, visiting private enterprises and government projects. Among other factory visits, the delegation received a special tour of the Metso-Outotec subsidiary factory SRHeavy, which provided valuable insights into the city’s manufacturing capabilities and technological advancements with a Finnish twist.

Highlights included visits to monumental government projects in big data and solar energy, highlighting Shaoguan’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. The delegation also received a warm welcome from local government hosts, who shared insights on investment opportunities and schemes.

Some members also had an opportunity to visit a scenic excursion to the nearby Danxia Mountain, enhancing their experience. The mix of nature and business underscored Shaoguan’s allure as a premier investment destination, blending industrial capabilities with natural beauty was surprisingly similarly to the one of Finland’s. The delegation left with renewed optimism and a commitment to fostering bilateral ties and many new friends.

Appreciation was extended to local leaders and hosts for their hospitality and insights, with special gratitude to the co-organizers in Finncham Beijing and Shanghai and a special thanks Metso’s SRheavy and of course all the member participants.
