SUMMARY:Setting Up in the USA: an introduction to practical business\, tax\, and immigration legal matters
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, the United States has represented one of the world’s most business-friendly environments. International companies seeking to grow beyond their home markets have looked to expansion in the United States as an excellent way to grow their businesses and customer bases.  But setting up operations in the United States is not as easy as one might expect. There are important cultural and legal differences between Finland and the United States that must be considered as part of the decision-making process leading up to the start of operations in the United States. \nThis is a symposium for anyone interested in the basic considerations a company or an entrepreneur would need to take before entirely moving operations to the United States or establishing a subsidiary office in the United States.  With the current political climate in the United States\, the calculus for considering a US office may have changed.  Furthermore the US immigration system is notoriously opaque\, and so incorporating an immigration strategy for executives\, managers\, specialized knowledge workers\, or specialty occupation workers must be factored into considerations related to entry into the US market. \nProgram: \n9.00 Welcome words WTC Turku \n9.05 International Employment Situations from the Perspective of Taxation and Employer Obligations \n\nWhat factors determine taxation of salary in international employment situations?\nDoes the employer have any specific obligations when an employee is working abroad?\nWhat should be taken into account regarding pensions and social security?\n\n\n9.25 Setting up in the USA \n\nState legislation vs Federal legislation\nImmigration law\nBeing an employee in the USA\nHow to set up operations in the USA\n\n10.15 Q&A\, coffee and networking \n10.45 Event ends \nThe event is open to everyone and free of charge\, but please let us know that you’re joining by registering here. \nSpeakers: \nAttorney Alex Isbell has been practicing US immigration law exclusively for 20 years and a core part of his practice is advising entrepreneurs and companies seeking to move people and operations to the United States. Working with Business Turku\, Turunkauppakamari and Asianajotoimisto Edelle\, he will provide interested parties with an overview of critical aspects of the business entity creation process in the United States\, the importance of seeking accounting and taxation advice during the process of considering a move to the US\, and of course the primary immigration channels that would be used to turn an idea about a US presence into the reality of a US presence. \nRonja Jokinen assists Edelle’s clients particularly with assignments related to tax and corporate law\, as well as the execution of corporate restructuring. In addition\, Ronja has previous experience in matters such as tax and social security issues related to international employee mobility\, employer obligations\, and family and inheritance law. \nKrista Siro has acted as an advisor in numerous domestic and international mergers and acquisitions. Her role in an M&A transaction often begins already at the letter of intent negotiation stage and continues until the deal is successfully completed. Krista advises clients on a wide range of issues related to corporate restructuring and drafts documents required for mergers and demergers\, among other things. She especially enjoys handling assignments with an international dimension. Krista drafts various international agreements\, such as distribution\, agency\, procurement/sales\, and non-disclosure agreements.

SUMMARY:Akateeminen & WTC Turku Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Akateeminen & WTC Turku Book Club is there for you to network\, learn and get the extra advantage in growing your business\, professional expertise and knowledge. \nWe read classic business books\, new releases on economics and various publications on professional and personal development. We’ll meet live every few months at the Akateeminen store in Turku (Yliopistonkatu 27\, 20100 Turku) to share our opinions and insights on the most recent book. \nAt the October meeting we’ll be reading How Economics can Change the World by Erik Angner. The book is available to purchase at the Akateeminen store! \nWhat the book’s about? \nOur world is in a mess. The challenges of climate change\, inequality and hunger mean our way of life seems more imperilled and society more divided than ever. But economics can help! From parenting to organ donation\, housing to anti-social behaviour\, economics provides the tools we need to fix the biggest issues of today. Far more than a means to predict the stock market\, economics provides a lens through which we can better understand how things work\, design clever solutions and create the conditions in which we can all flourish. \nWith a healthy dose of optimism\, and packed with stories of economics in everyday situations\, Erik Angner demonstrates the methods he and his fellow economists use to help improve the lives of people and the society in which they live. He shows us that economics can be a powerful force for good\, awakening the possibility of a happier\, more just and more sustainable world. \nGet your copy\, read the book and join us on Thursday\, October 3rd to discuss your ideas and insights. Let us know that you’re coming by registering here.

SUMMARY:Get to know the United Arab Emirates market
DESCRIPTION:!!! ATTENTION: PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE TO MINISTERI AUDITORIUM\, BIOCITY\, TYKISTÖKATU 6\, 20520 TURKU \nAmbassador of Finland to the UAE Tuula Yrjölä and Business Finland together with H. E. Amna Fikri\, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to Finland\, have the pleasure to invite Finnish companies interested in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)\, to a presentation of market opportunities\, followed by an in-person discussion. The event is co-organized by Business Finland\, the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates to Finland\, Finland Chamber of Commerce\, Business Turku and World Trade Center Turku and Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. \nDate:   September 4th\, 2024\nPlace: Note the new venue: MINISTERI AUDITORIUM\, BIOCITY\, TYKISTÖKATU 6\, 20520 TURKU\nTime: 14:00-16:00 \nREGISTER TO THE EVENT  \nWith a strategic location\, stable legal framework\, and pro-business policies\, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the fastest-growing economies in the region\, with an expected growth rate of 4% in the coming years. As one of the world’s top oil exporters\, the UAE has accelerated its plans to diversify its economy away from hydrocarbons and attract foreign investment. Currently\, non-oil GDP already represents over 70% of the total GDP contribution. The country boasts a young and rapidly growing population\, projected to nearly double by 2040. \nThe UAE government has set ambitious goals for economic diversification across sectors such as finance\, tourism\, transportation and logistics\, real estate\, technology\, manufacturing\, and digitalization. Additionally\, the UAE aims to become one of the most livable countries in the world by enhancing its already world-class infrastructure and leveraging technologies to improve the quality of life. As a regional trade and logistics hub\, the UAE’s planned projects will further solidify its global position. \nThis dynamic environment offers vast opportunities for international companies across various sectors. However\, successfully entering this market requires patience\, dedication\, a deep understanding of the local landscape\, and strong networks—resources that smaller companies may find challenging to acquire on their own. \nOne of the goals of this event is to share information about the services and support available in the UAE to empower small Finnish companies to enter the market. During the event\, you will have the opportunity to learn about the UAE market\, government-driven strategic projects\, key players\, and business opportunities\, with a particular focus on digitalization and mobility. In addition to HE Tuula Yrjöla\, HE Amna Fikri\, Business Finland’s UAE Senior Advisor Victoria Ivanova\, will be present to discuss how we can help you boost your business in this competitive market. \nWe encourage companies of all sizes and maturity levels interested in gaining new insights\, expanding to new markets\, or needing assistance with their current business to participate in the event and establish valuable connections. Our aim is to provide practical advice and follow up with the necessary introductions. \n
