There are several business districts in Helsinki. All of them provide the companies with a good business location and connections within the city and to elsewhere in Finland.

Aviapolis (in Vantaa) is located in the immediate vicinity of the Helsinki Airport. Companies operating in the district employ over 30,000 people. The development of Aviapolis continues: an area of 400,000 square meters has already been zoned for the construction of office space. Traffic connections will be improved by the opening of the Ring Rail Road in 2014 that connects the airport area seamlessly with the Helsinki city centre.

Otaniemi (in Espoo) attracts many technology companies. The district includes the main campus of Aalto University School of Science and Technology and many facilities of the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.

Ruoholahti (in Helsinki) attracts companies from many fields and has a high concentration of knowledge intensive business service (KIBS) providers. The district is in the vicinity of the Helsinki city centre. Other thriving business districts include Centre City, Keilaniemi, Lauttasaari, Matinkylä, Niittykumpu, Pasila, Pitäjänmäki, Sörnäinen, Tapiola, Tikkurila and Vallila.
