Mitä?
Foreign direct investment is one of Finland’s clearest paths to renewed growth, but potential alone doesn’t move capital. Investors move capital where they trust the ecosystem to deliver through predictable rules, stable timelines, and a credible long-term vision & commitment to the conditions that made them invest in the first place.
The 2026 FDI Barometer, Amcham Finland’s and Business Finland’s biennial reading of how international investors see the country, suggests that trust is under pressure and the stakes are high.
The panel at SuomiAreena brings together voices from global technology, life sciences, legal advisory, and Finland’s investment community to discuss what they see on the ground: where Finland is still winning trust, where it is losing it, and what the conditions are for translating FDI potential into real growth and wellbeing for the entire nation. The conversation connects investor confidence to the wider question of how Finland sustains economic success in a more competitive global environment.
