Finland's economy and security of supply rely on foreign experts
"There is a growing need for immigrants and foreign skilled workers. The technology industry plays a key role in, for example, the development of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. These fields are already dependent on international experts. When the economy turns upward, this shortage of skilled workers will only deepen," write TEK's Owain Hopeaketo and Barona's Elina Santalahti in today's Vieraskynä in Helsingin Sanomat.

Budget talks bring hope for the unemployed, but retreat on RDI funding is a disappointment
Easing the ability to study while receiving unemployment benefits is an excellent decision from the government’s budget negotiations. However, curbing the growth of RDI (Research, Development, and Innovation) funding unnecessarily hampers growth and productivity.

What happened to the growth goals?
On Wednesday, 6th August, Minister of Finance Riikka Purra published her proposal for next year's state budget. Looking at the proposal for a while only deepens the astonishment: why are we cutting growth measures? In particular, cutting the university index and shifting the objectives of RDI funding to the distant future are measures that will eat up precisely the growth stimuli that this government has advertised.
