Despite the circumstances we are going through today there has been progress in ASIA-CLEAN project and future steps will be taken promptly.
Entering the Malaysian market
We travelled from February 7 to February 17 in Kuala Lumpur. A total of 17 different meetings took place during the week and we established very good contacts at government and private level.
We have good contacts in the following organizations: Salcon Petroleum, Embassy of Finland, Business Finland, Invest Selangor, Invest KL, MIDA’s Green Technology Division, MATRADE and others. In the future, we will be introduced to ports, state-run smart city areas, energy companies and more.
