Sweden represents very strong market opportunities for Finnish EdTech companies

Sweden continues to represent a very strong potential for Finnish companies looking at international growth. Sweden being a strong economy has the demand for new innovative technology, products and services. For Finnish EdTech companies Sweden has what it takes to make it big; broad range of distributors, resellers and customers.

Typically, Finnish companies entering Swedish markets appreciate experienced partners and innovation-friendly environment. For Swedish companies, Finland is an equally interesting and growing market and also in strong demand for innovation and technology driven services and products.
