Finland Fact Pack 2025: Why invest in Finland

Made specifically with leaders of international business in Finland in mind, the Finland Fact Pack 2025 provides facts and insights for executives to sell Finland as a business environment and an investment destination.

First published in 2017, this trusted resource originated from discussions between August, Amcham Finland and international business leaders who needed compelling facts and data to successfully advocate for Finland within their organizations and make investment cases to their global headquarters.

From an investor’s perspective, there continues to be a need for an up-to-date overview of the Finnish business climate. What are the facts on the ground in 2025? What are the strengths and the potential of Finland as a business environment? What is changing, and how? This latest edition addresses the critical questions facing international businesses in today’s evolving global landscape, providing country managers and executives with the arguments they need to effectively pitch Finland to their headquarters and decision-makers.

What makes Finland compelling in 2025? The Fact Pack features updated insights on Finland’s economic resilience, innovation ecosystem, and strategic positioning in an uncertain global environment. The 2025 edition highlights Finland’s top-tier capabilities, clean energy leadership, a secure and supportive business environment, and an exceptional quality of life, alongside insights from Finnish cities including Turku, Tampere, Helsinki, Espoo, and Vantaa, and quotes from business leaders of companies that have successfully invested in Finland.

August, working in cooperation with Amcham Finland, has put together the comprehensive information companies need as a starting point for potential business here or when exploring Finland as an investment location or looking to expand their operations. August provides deep knowledge of the Finnish business environment and expertise in helping companies succeed in this market.
