Finland evokes many associations: majestic and unspoiled nature with thousands of lakes and endless forests; a vibrant cultural life, including world-renowned talents and an unparalleled festival circuit; cutting-edge technological know-how; educational and social welfare systems that have gained respect world over; Moomins and Santa Claus - truly a world of tastes and textures that cannot all be taken in at once!

The Consulate General of Finland together with a group of sponsoring companies and in close cooperation with several prominent actors and institutions in the Hong Kong cultural and social scene is proud to present different aspects of Finland in Hong Kong and Macao. These are being offered in small but exciting portions to delight audiences in Hong Kong - all under the banner of Finnish Appetizers.
