There’s something very Finnish about salmon soup 😋 No complicated techniques, a short ingredient list and some time to let it simmer.

Would you enjoy some lohikeitto with rye bread?

Tehokas ja antoisa päivä Singaporessa 🇫🇮🇸🇬

🔹 Tapasin Singaporen sisäisen turvallisuuden ministerin K. Shanmugamin. Keskustelimme ajankohtaisista turvallisuushaasteista ja maiden välisestä yhteistyöstä.
🔹 Tutustuin Singapore Economic Development Boardin toimintaan ja kuulin heidän näkemyksiään talouskehityksen ja innovaatiopolitiikan tulevaisuudesta.
🔹 Pidin Raffles-luennon, jossa kerroin Suomen tarinasta sekä Suomen ja Singaporen välisistä suhteista. Korostin tekoälyn merkitystä pienen maan menestystekijänä.
🔹 Tapasin suomalaisten yritysten edustajia, mm. Nokia, Wärtsilä ja Neste. Keskustelimme liiketoimintamahdollisuuksista sekä yhteistyöstä Singaporessa ja laajemmin Kaakkois-Aasiassa.
