Real quality of life
A city that scales to fit your needs. A chance to enjoy life or thrive in business – in Helsinki you can have both. Helsinki is not simply a great location for business. It is a great place to work and live, stable and secure, with a very high standard of living and welfare.
Helsinki offers a very high standard of living in all aspects. Life expectancy is very high at 83 years for women and 76.3 years for men. Greater Helsinki is home to 1.3 million people. Thanks to its compact size, structure and status, services are plentiful and easily accessible. Helsinki is a green city with plenty of natural public spaces, parks, playgrounds and other recreational spaces. The Finnish affinity for nature and sustainability also manifests itself through an effective public transportation system, pro-recycling mentality and use of renewable energy sources.
