Matti Urmas, Managing Director of FREJA in Finland, starts his fourth year in the advisory delegation of the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK) in 2023. EK is the leading business organization in Finland.
The business delegation consists of business executives from different industries.
The members are nominated by the member associations of EK.
2023 is a particularly important year for the EK, as parliamentary elections will be held in Finland.
“EK has a comprehensive 6+1 Mission for a Good Future election programme, which comprehensively addresses international trade and highlights the importance of the EU for Finland's success. The stronger and more influential the EU is globally, the better for Finland, because we cannot make it on our own.
EK is the leading business organization in Finland. EK has 19 member associations, and over 15,000 member companies across all business sectors (96% SMEs). The business delegation is elected yearly.
EK represents and defends the interests of the Finnish business community. It engages in dialogue with decision makers at the national level as well as in the EU and international level.
Urmas started in the delegation in the beginning of 2020.
