This situation is unsustainable. Finland is driving the very people who can create future innovation and economic growth out of the country. It's pointless for decision-makers to talk about improving recruitment conditions in the labour market if the reality for attracting foreign talent to the country is uninviting. The data clearly shows that sufficient immigration and a welcoming stance towards global talent are crucial for Finland's future.
Finland will struggle to attract international IT talent against the backdrop of hostile anti-immigration policies. The survey indicates that 45% of professionals would not recommend Finland for foreign talent, highlighting a significant challenge for the nation's reputation in the tech field.
Data from 2023 reveals that foreign inventors contributed to around 60% of patents sought by Finnish institutions and companies, underscoring their vital role in innovation output. The declining perception of Finland as a welcoming destination could jeopardize this critical input.
