Finland has become one of the most competitive countries in the world due to the creativity of its people and an ability to produce technical innovations that stem from that creativity.

Finland is a country that produces innovations. There is much evidence of this northern nation’s creativity; in relation to the size of its population Finland has the highest number of patent applications for high technology products and experts in science and technology.

Europe’s leading information society is, among other things, the most wired and wireless nation in the world with its sophisticated digital and fibre optic voice and data processing networks. Finland is also home to the world’s most developed electronic banking system and the world’s leading innovator in mobile phones and telecommunications.

Is it any wonder that Finland has proved to be the ideal environment for the development and testing of new types of innovations.
