Finland, located in Northern Europe, is a technologically advanced country with a population of approximately 5.5 million. Its geography, marked by a large number of lakes and islands, poses modest challenges for infrastructure development. Despite this, Finland has a robust telecommunications network, with high-speed broadband availability even in remote areas. Helsinki, the capital, is a technology hub, hosting many tech companies and start-ups. Finland's population is unevenly distributed, with a significant concentration in the south, particularly the Helsinki region. The country has made significant strides in the renewables sector, particularly in wind and bioenergy. The Finnish government is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2035, with increased investment in renewable energy. The telecommunications, renewables, and technology sectors in Finland are mature and highly developed.
