Finnish higher education expertise showcased in South Africa under the leadership of the Prime Minister
Funidata has been invited to join a business delegation organised by Business Finland to represent Finnish expertise in education and technology.
Funidata is participating in an export promotion trip led by Prime Minister Petteri Orpo, taking place in Johannesburg, South Africa, on 26 and 27 November. Funidata has been invited to join the business delegation organised by Business Finland. Funidata will be represented by CEO Mikko Myllys.
Business Finland has assemled Finnish companies that strengthen educational expertise and digital solutions in international markets. Funidata represents higher education study management solutions that support digital learning, high-quality knowledge management, and modern study lifecycle management.
The aim of the visit is to deepen educational and technological cooperation between Finland and the southern Africa region and to strengthen the opportunities for Finnish companies in international markets. These discussions will focus on digital services in higher education institutions, knowledge management, and sustainable growth.
From Funidata's perspective, digital services play increasingly important role, as many higher education institutions across the African continent are developing their own administrative and learning systems to meet rising educational needs. Funidata is continuing its growth strategy and seeks to strengthen collaboration with partners and education sector organisations in southern Africa.
"The digitalisation of higher education institutions is a global trend, and the higher education sector in southern Africa is experiencing a period of strong growth and renewal. It is inspiring to be able to exchange experiences on how modern systems and data can support education in regions where youth unemployment presents a major challenge. We believe that high-quality and accessible education is one of the keys to sustainable growth, and we want to contribute to building solutions that help young people find their path into working life," says Mikko Myllys, CEO of Funidata.
Further information about the visit can be found in the Government’s press release.
