Helsinki Partners Invites International Family-Led Firms to Explore Europe With 90 Day Finn Program

Helsinki, Finland, 29th Jan 2024 – Helsinki Partners is announcing the ongoing application period for the 2024 edition of the 90 Day Finn Program, an innovative initiative designed to attract international family-led companies considering expansion into Europe. This year’s program, running from August to November, offers a unique opportunity for corporate decision-makers, including executives and innovation leaders, to experience Helsinki’s business environment first-hand.

Highlighting the program’s success, GIIAVA by Yashodhan Bhawe, a 90 Day Finn participant from 2023, exemplifies the program’s potential. GIIAVA, a leading manufacturer and exporter of Soya Lecithin Powder and Liquid, leveraged the program to explore Helsinki as a new market. Yashodhan Bhawe, chief scientist of GIIAVA, found the program valuable not only for business expansion but also for personal growth, citing a deep interest in Finnish language, culture, and the balanced lifestyle that Helsinki offers.

The 90 Day Finn Program is particularly advantageous in light of Finland’s recent introduction of new taxation benefits for international talent. Effective from January 1, 2024, foreign key employees can benefit from a tax-at-source rate of 32% for up to seven years, under specific conditions. This extended tax advantage makes Helsinki an increasingly attractive destination for international businesses and professionals.

Compared to other Nordic capitals, Helsinki stands out for its cost-effectiveness combined with a high level of innovation. The city offers a robust business environment, public-private collaborations, and a populace with exceptional digital skills. Finland’s consistent ranking as the happiest country in the world and its strong standings in global stability, corruption perception, and citizen empowerment further enhance its appeal as a business destination.

The 90 Day Finn Program includes personalized business advisor services, relocation support, coworking spaces, and a range of networking events and cultural activities. Participants will also receive peer support from other international professionals and local insights to ease their transition into the Finnish way of life.

Applications for the 90 Day Finn Program are open until February 29, 2024. Interested international decision-makers and their advisors are encouraged to seize this unique opportunity to explore Helsinki as a potential base for European expansion. To learn more and apply, visit 90DayFinn.com.
