Show us the happiest people in the world! Francesca Aliverti invited a couple of industry leaders from Finland and posed some important questions regarding their ecosystem both on their local skills, talent, investment, plans, and aspirations for the future, but also local struggles and comparisons to their northern neighbors. We only mentioned Nokia once, but left space for ample discussion into their accelerated digital and fintech adoption, education system, and of course – happiness rankings!
In one our of the most honest and deep Ecosystem Zoom Ins ever made, we give you “The Finnish Case” with Mika Markalaakso and Kirsi Larkiala.
