The Finnish Startup Community (FSC) asked its members what kind of policy measures they hope for from the next government and what things are important in terms of growth? Based on the survey, policies related to improving the availability of labor are the most important.
The goal of the survey was to rank the most important of the previously considered policy measures by the Finnish Startup Community.
The confidence of Finnish startup companies in the surrounding the economic situation continues declining sharply, with no immediate signs of improvement. The latest results of the barometer survey also suggests that startups confidence in their own financial situation is still declining slowly. Although the change is not as significant as before, it is still a concerning trend. A positive sign is that the indicator regarding employee count has stabilized to a positive value.
In the next state budget negotiations, business subsidies should be reallocated to research and development investments, states the Finnish Startup Community. It is the best way to create new jobs and economic growth for Finns.
