Doing business in Finland
Finland is a prosperous and stable economy, with a government focused on removing trade barriers. Finnish consumers are interested in high quality, high tech innovations, and quality brands also appeal to the rapidly growing number of tourists visiting the country.
British quality products are well received and UK brands are well known in Finland. The country has an affluent, highly educated and technologically sophisticated population. Total trade in goods and services (exports plus imports) between the UK and Finland was worth £5.7 billion in the year leading up to the end of March 2019 (ONS, 2019)
Finland is strategically located at the centre of a developing marketplace that extends from north-western Russia to Scandinavia and the Baltic States.
Some of the key market sectors for UK businesses looking to trade with Finland are:
- Food and Drink
- Technology
- Financial services
- Renewables
