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.
