Our pre-Slush event at Allas Sea Pool Helsinki on November 29, the day before Slush 2017 kicked off, was a great success and we want to thank you all who made it such a wonderful evening by joining the discussions, swimming, sauna and networking.
Here you can see some photos taken during the evening and our business advisors’ answers to your questions about doing business in Helsinki. If you have any further questions or didn’t have time to ask them then, don’t hesitate to contact our team!

The Government has submitted proposal to Parlament in September 2017. The estimate is that the necessary amendments to current rules will be in power in the beginning of 2018.

Credibility. If you only have a post box address in Finland and no real physical presence, you have no face. Building long-term relations with clients, strengthening the brand and developing your business to the next level is challenging.
HBH focuses mainly on helping foreign companies to establish themselves & invest in Helsinki and helping companies to pilot their solutions in the region.
However, if you are a company operating in the Helsinki region in the smart&clean domain, contact HBH’s senior business advisor Irma Ylikangas who is specialized in export activities. If you are a Finland-based company seeking for investors in order to fund your further expansion, contact HBH’s Investor services team.
HBH can also connect you with relevant contact persons at Finpro and regional development agencies in other countries, such as Business France, Business Sweden etc.
Because we talk about our achievement like Finns and it’s cool! Check this out for example: We have the best schools in the world, build the biggest cruise ships and most of icebreakers and Slush is the biggest (and the most badass) startup & investor event in Europe.
But what’s true is true – Finns prefer to do more and talk less, not the other way around. Cut the crap and get sh.. things done – that’s the motto of one of the most innovative nations in the world. #BragForFinland
It’s super easy! Just contact our HBH advisors, for example here at the bottom of this page.
Software developer, software architect, data analyst, game develop and other IT specializations.
Softaware development, gaming, e-commerce, fintech and smart mobility to name a few.
If you are a person and it’s your salary, the tax scale is progressive up to 60%. If you are a company, corporate tax is 20%.
Our main driver is commitment to build wellbeing and higher quality of life for the people. Also creativity, sense of fulfilment and fresh and chilly air of Helsinki play a key role here. 🙂
Helsinki region has top class diverse talent pool, is one of the most livable cities in the world and is way cheaper to live than the Valley. Finland is a low hierarchy country, which means it’s easier to reach decision makers. On top of that, Finland is the top country with R&D spending per capita and state support of innovative tech development is remarkable.
And so we did at the event. But if you’d still like to get in further in contact with our network of international investors (and your company is based in Finland), the HBH investor services can help you get matched!
Positive, this is already happening and opening new opportunities.
