A culture of fresh thinking
Helsinki is a haven where thinking outside the box is more of a means for survival than an exception. In Finland, the willingness to re-think business, entrepreneurship, technology or society is a product of high education and an atmosphere of innovation.
More than a third of Helsinki inhabitants have higher-level education, which is more than anywhere else in the world. The Finnish school system provides world-leading universal education, as confirmed by PISA studies over and over again. In general, the workforce in Finland has very good ICT and language skills and is known for its high ethics and productivity.
Finland’s world renowned, $12 billion annual innovation system owes its success to the researchers and other professionals working in Finland. R&D-intensive companies from around the world are taking advantage of Helsinki’s innovation ecosystem.
