Finnish Marine Industries Federation Finnboat

The mission of the association is to bring together boating companies under one roof and to promote their operations and healthy competition, as well as to promote boating and boating safety in our country. The main focus of the activities is on exhibitions in the field. The organizer of the Helsinki International Boat Show is Suomen Messut Oyj and Finnboat is the sponsor of the fair. Every year in August, Finnboat also organizes the Helsinki Uiva-Boat Afloat Show, and starting in 2025, the Naantali Boat Show will be held every May.
In addition to the scope of our activities in advocacy and exhibition operations, it is worth mentioning, among other things:

• Finnboat News three times a year
• drawing up the necessary forms for the boat trade
• preparation of statistical surveys and business cycle barometers in the sector
• Organizing boat parliament training events
• press conferences and industry press releases
• joint advertising in the field at home and abroad and coordination of export projects
• boating promotions in Finland
• cooperation with boating schools, boating organizations and authorities
• Publication of the Boating Aapinen - Båtlivets ABC guide, etc.

Finnboat's office is managed by Jarkko Pajusalo, CEO, with the assistance of Tiina Krooks, Office Manager. The office is located in the Sörnäinen district of Helsinki.
