About Finland
Finland has an affluent, highly educated and technologically sophisticated population. British quality products are well received and UK brands are well known in the country. Total trade in goods and services (exports plus imports) between the UK and Finland was worth £5.4 billion in the year leading up to the end of June 2021.
The country has a prosperous and stable economy with a government focussed on removing trade barriers and strengthening the multilateral trading system. Finnish consumers are interested in high quality, high tech innovations and quality brands also appeal to the rapidly growing number of tourists visiting Finland.
Finland ranks no. 1 in the United Nation's Sustainable Development Report 2021. Businesses and the policy environment in Finland are supportive of sustainable investments, making Finland an excellent market for sustainable goods and solutions.
There's a strong push in Finland to increase energy efficiency across industries such as construction, transportation, manufacturing and marine. As a result, the skills of Scottish businesses with this specialist expertise will be in demand.
Investments in onshore and offshore wind power in Finland are growing rapidly. Onshore wind power capacity was estimated to grow by 40% in 2021 alone. Large scale projects in offshore wind are under development, offering excellent opportunities for Scottish exporters.
