Finland is looking for international talent; specially in IT, healthcare and cleantech
Finland has positioned itself as a hub of opportunities for students, researchers, and innovators, actively welcoming international workers to address the rising labor crisis. In an interview with Times of India, Laura Lindeman, Senior Director, Head of Work in Finland at Business Finland, shed light on the initiatives such as 'Work in Finland' and 'Talent Boost' that are facilitating the influx of skilled and tech-savvy professionals globally.
She emphasized that Finland, committed to global connectivity, views international talents as contributors to building connections with the rest of the world. Recognizing the significance of human capital in enhancing competitiveness, Finland aims to attract a diverse workforce, fostering internationalization, innovation, and company growth.
«Finland wants to attract talent and generate growth, internationlisation and well-being in collaboration with a diverse, international workforce,» Lindeman said.
Finland is looking to attract 15,000 international students a year by 2030 and increase the level of work-based migration to 30,000 per year. «The Finnish society is ageing; therefore, the country needs more young people to join the labour market,» Glenn Gassen, Director of Immigration Affairs, Helsinki, told TOI in an interview in July.
«We see India as one of our focus countries and want to intensify our partnership,» he added. «India has a growing young population, and a lot of untapped talent and Finland has had excellent experiences with Indian students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and professionals. There is an active Indian business community across Finland, and we have seen that Indian newcomers integrate quickly and emerge very successful.»
