About Finland

A sovereign state in Europe, Finland sits on a peninsula where the Gulf of Finland is to the south and the Gulf of Bothnia is on the west. It is one of the most sparsely populated (5.5 million) countries in the European Union with most of its population concentrated in the south. This is the country to run to when you have written on your bucket list to see the Northern Lights - go to the Arctic Lapland province - you can also ski to your heart's content here. You need to talk Swedish and the locals consider themselves to be "Finns" not Swedes. It is one of the most stable countries in the world with an advanced economy.

The startup scene here is looked upon as being unique, as it has one of the leading startup conferences in Northern-Europe "Slush" with the government totally supporting an entrepreneurship culture, promoting young startups and encouraging universities in commercializing their research ideas. The government has also increased the funding for startups by 80% in the last 5 years. The predominant field of IT startups are in the gaming industry and it hosts one of the most active and expanding video game industries globally. There are numerous startups that have evolved from this positive outlook such as Supercell, a gaming company best known for "Clash of Clans", also Rovio Entertainment for the world known "Angry Bird" game. Finland has over 335,000 IT professionals in its midst, 36% are aged between 18-34 which probably explains the gaming predominance in its startups. But there is a growing sector in the fields of education technology, industrial Internet and digital services software, environment and energy as well as health and wellbeing.
