Finnpartnership support
Finnpartnership offers business partnership support to Finnish companies for Team Finland visits to developing countries in the form of a grant-based financial support, when the aim for the company is to establish themselves long-term in a developing country, in order to cooperate with local companies. This support is not available for just a single trip; the trip has to be part of an existing wider plan. The support is meant for the early stages of business planning, such as identifying business partners. The Team Finland visits can be used to promote these aims.

More information about business partnership support is available at https://finnpartnership.fi/en/mita-on-liikekumppanuustuki/ or by enrolling in a Finnpartnership application workshop: https://finnpartnership.fi/en/mita-on-liikekumppanuustuki/application-workshops/
 
The support is paid retrospectively, and is available for the countries listed by OECD's Development Co-operation Directorate (DAC):https://www.oecd.org/dac/financing-sustainable-development/development-finance-standards/DAC-List-of-ODA-Recipients-for-reporting-2022-23-flows.pdf
