Key strategic points

Our goal is resilient and sustainable growth.​ Finland’s growth comes from exports, the core of which is technology industry companies that produce innovative solutions. ​

Through our key strategic points, we create the basis for the industry’s competitiveness, renewaland investment, as well as for a thriving Finland.

Resilience through collaboration​

The operating environment has become significantly more uncertain, challenging Finnish society and technology industry. Close collaboration is needed to effect growth, competitiveness and resilience.

Critical technologies for competitive edge​

Finland’s strong critical technologies set the requirements for the industry’s renewal, growth and competitiveness. The ability to integrate critical technologies, in particular AI, into all operations is crucial.​

High level skills and RDI for renewal​

Finnish companies succeed by creating the world’s best solutions for a sustainable society. Finland becomes prosperous by producing added-value products and services for the needs of our planet.

Enabling investment environment​

Investments need a stable and encouraging environment as well as companies’ ability and courage to grow. This requires predictable regulation, smooth permit processes and focus on security and incentives.

Attractive labour market​

Finland succeeds when the labour markets support renewal, attracts international talent and utilisation of skills. We need a flexibility in collective bargaining, an inclusive work culture and a working life in which quality and trust go hand in hand.
