Business Finland, Government organization in Helsinki, Finland.
Business Finland is a government organization based in Helsinki that supports Finnish companies in research, innovation, and international growth. It runs offices both inside Finland and in several countries abroad, serving businesses of all sizes from startups to established companies.
Business Finland was created in 2018 when Finpro, the national export promotion agency, merged with Tekes, the state research funding agency. The goal was to bring both sets of resources under one roof and make it easier for companies to access support.
Business Finland works closely with universities and research institutions, helping ideas move from the lab to the market. For many Finnish startups and small companies, it is often the first point of contact when looking for funding or international connections.
Anyone looking for funding or support for a business project should get in touch with the relevant Business Finland office directly. The organization's website gives a clear overview of available programs and helps identify the right contact for each type of request.
Business Finland runs a funding program for audiovisual productions, which brings international film and media crews to shoot in Finland. This program has helped put Finland on the map as a filming destination for projects from outside the country.
