# Discover The Coolest Ecosystem– Why Finland is the hub for global startups and how you can be a part of it?

9 Ekim 2023

![](https://baslangicnoktasi.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Dunya-Mutluluk-Raporuna-gorue-1-1080x694.png)

Finland, the happiest country in the world for the sixth time in a row, is a home to a vibrant startup ecosystem with more than **3,800 startups and 196 investors** (dealroom). According to the recent study published by [StartupBlink,](https://www.startupblink.com/startupecosystem/finland) Finland´s Startup ecosystem is ranked as **#7 in Western Europe and #13 worldwide**!

The ecosystem has given birth to **more than 10** **unicorns** including **Rovio games** (An entertainment media company and creator of Angry Birds franchise), **Wolt** (A technology company that makes it incredibly easy to discover and get great food delivered), and **Supercell** (Building a new kind of gaming experience for tablets and other touch devices).  Most of these are headquartered in the capital city of **Helsinki** which is the leading hub in the country, and is followed by the cities of **Oulu**, **Tampere** and **Turku** cities. Helsinki and Oulu are two Finnish cities ranked in the top 5 Cities of Nordics according to the StartupBlink\`s report.

As a country with a population of 5.5 million, Finland has global success stories including Nokia\`s mobile phone dominance, first heart rate monitor, black box at the planes, 5G and Linux operating system. It also ranks amongst the world\`s top 10 most innovative countries. The leading industries include **gaming, bioeconomy, clean and smart technologies, health and wellbeing, ICT and digitalization, and travel and tourism**. Not only is Finland famous for its companies and technological innovations, but it also ranks high achieving UN sustainable development goals (SDG’s). In international comparison, Finland has achieved SDGs #1.

**Why Finland? What drives the ecosystem?**

Finland has many reasons why many international startups find the ecosystem interesting. The business environment is **stable**, and the society is **safe and transparent** with relatively low level of bureaucracy. People are highly educated, and the country has **the best expertise in digital technologies**. These factors contribute to the country’s attractiveness and its position as one of the **top business-friendly locations** in the world.

**What\`s next!**

Business Finland\`s Work in Finland together with the Embassy of Finland in Ankara is calling for Turkish startups to [Finland-Turkiye Startup Competition](https://www.linkedin.com/events/finland-t-rkiyestartupcompetiti7103327674034532352/comments/) with an award ticket to Slush as well as guidance and connections with the local stakeholders. If you are keen to learn more and apply to this competition, please choose one of our local partners and submit your application directly with them.
