Finland wants to attract Indian talent, and accelerate growth

Since 2019, India has been Finland’s main focus countries and a top target nation drawing the greatest amount of talent and wants to intensify the partnership as India has a growing young population that is expanding and a wealth of talent.

Employers are aware of Indian potential as the majority of international workers coming to Finland from outside the EU/ETA region are Indian, and it has been observed that Indian immigrants settle in fast and become extremely successful. Finland has had great success working with Indian professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, and students.

The government actively assists new businesses by providing resources, and stability. The thriving start up environment is enhanced by a variety of funding sources, initiatives such as the Finnish Start-up Permit, and accelerators, incubators, and venture capital firms.

Working within the larger 'Talent Boost' program, the 'Work in Finland' initiative serves a central platform (workinfinland.com) with information on living, job searches, and other factors of moving to Finland. Lindeman highlighted on how the platform helps companies hire people from abroad by offering advice, coaching, funding, and mentorship.

The Finnish government maintains a strict immigration policy, guarantees equal work rights for foreign workers, and recognizes the significance of work-based migrations. In general, Finland is welcoming global talent as a driver of its growth and prosperity.
