Miltton and EastCham Finland announce strategic partnership to support Finnish business engagement in Ukraine’s reconstruction

EastCham is an international Chamber of Commerce supporting Finnish businesses in Ukraine and providing advisory, market information and networking services. The partnership aims to facilitate Finnish business involvement in Ukraine’s reconstruction and economic revitalization. 

Ukraine’s reconstruction is currently estimated to reach 500 billion euros as the world’s largest construction site. The repairment and construction of housing and critical infrastructure is well underway, but Ukraine needs solutions to hold the country’s principle to “build back better, build back greener”.

The cooperation will combine Miltton’s extensive on-the-ground knowledge and insights with EastCham’s expertise in Ukraine and established network of Finnish businesses, helping companies navigate Ukraine’s evolving business environment. Together the partners will provide Finnish companies with tailored services from market intelligence, market entry support and risk assessment to stakeholder engagement and strategic communication.

“This partnership exemplifies our commitment to supporting Ukraine’s rebuilding process and highlights our dedication to facilitating international business engagement in Ukraine,” says Jarkko Konttinen, CCO of Miltton Group. “Finnish businesses are well-positioned to contribute significantly to the Rebuild Ukraine project, but we understand the barriers that may hinder their engagement. With our local presence, on-the-ground expertise, and proven track record, Miltton and EastCham are here to pave a smoother path forward. By combining our expertise and networks, we can create an effective pathway for Finnish companies to make meaningful contributions to Ukraine’s recovery.”

Jaana Rekolainen, CEO of EastCham Finland comments: “Together we are stronger in our efforts to rebuild Ukraine. EastCham, like Miltton, is committed to Ukraine’s reconstruction and we see that Finnish companies will benefit from the strong Finnish support network present in Ukraine open for collaboration. EastCham’s strength lies in a network of member companies that support each other, and we warmly welcome Miltton to our network.”

As part of their collaboration, EastCham Finland and Miltton organize joint events and offer valuable information and strategic insights into the Ukrainian market, helping to lower the barriers to expansion into Ukraine.
