Immigrate to a small Nordic country

Speaking of Finland, most people may not be familiar with it. Because this Nordic country is very small and has a small population, it has lived in peace with the world for a long time and has a low sense of existence. Although Finland is humble, it is also a powerful role. Finland is located in the northern part of Europe, bordering Sweden, Norway and Russia, bordering Finland Bay in the south and Virginia Bay in the west, and is known as the "country of thousands of lakes". Finland has a land area of about 330,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 5 million. It is a standard small country with a population not as large as many second-tier cities in China. Due to the high latitude, the climate in Finland is relatively cold, and the whole country 1/3 is located in the Arctic Circle. Several months of the year are winter, and going out is ice and snow. It can be said that the natural conditions in Finland are not so good. However, this does not affect Finland's enthusiasm for life, nor does it prevent Finland from becoming a world-class developed country.

In the face of the harsh natural environment, Finns have not given up on themselves, but have made full use of their own advantages to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and developed many advantageous industries, such as forest industry, shipbuilding, energy and environmental protection, chemical industry, metal industry, high-tech electronic information industry and so on, especially Finnish forest industry. Finland's forest industry accounts for 5% of the world's total output, and it is the second largest paper and paperboard exporter in the world (accounting for 25% of the world's exports) and the fourth largest pulp exporter. Finnish paper and pulp machinery accounts for 70% of the international market, and one out of every four paper machines in the world is made in Finland. The world's largest newsprint machine is also made in Finland, with a roll width of 1 1 m and a paper output of 1800 m per minute. Finland's UPM Group is the third largest paper and paper products manufacturer in the world, with a history of 100 years. It has 930,000 hectares of forest in Finland, with an average annual consumption of 240,000 cubic meters. Two other forestry enterprises in Finland, Stora Enso Paper Group and Enso Paper Company in Finland, are world-famous forestry enterprises.

Of course, Finland is also very powerful in other aspects. For example, in shipbuilding, one out of every four cruise ships in the world is built by Finnish shipyard, and six out of every ten icebreakers used in the world are made in Finland. At present, most of the world's largest luxury cruise ships and American and Russian Antarctic research ships are made in Finland. Finland Futeng Engineering Co., Ltd. is one of the major energy companies in Europe, and its business covers almost all energy fields. Otto Kemp of Finland is one of the four largest stainless steel producers in the world. Wasilan Company of Finland is one of the largest manufacturers of marine diesel engines and diesel generator sets in the world, and the world's largest marine engine (over 654.38+ million horsepower) is designed and manufactured by it.

KONE Finland is one of the largest suppliers of elevators and escalators in the world, with the sales of escalators ranking first and elevators ranking third in the world. KCI is one of the most powerful crane manufacturers in the world, accounting for about 10% of the global crane market. The Kemira Group in Finland is also a well-known enterprise in the world chemical industry. Not to mention another giant in Finland, Nokia. Nokia used to be the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phone equipment and one of the largest providers of network operation equipment, services and solutions. In 2007, Nokia once occupied 40% market share of global mobile communication equipment.

In addition, Finland is a world leader in bioenergy and cogeneration, water treatment and special industrial chemicals, and global observation data utilization technology. Although Finland is very small, with a population of more than 5 million, it ranks in the top ten with 17 in 20 key scientific and technological fields, such as computer science. Americans have windows and Finns have linux! Finland's scientific and technological strength and R&D capability are definitely among the best in the world. Finland is China's second largest technology transfer country in Northern Europe. Of course, behind Finland's success is education and high-quality citizens who have been at the forefront of the world. Finns not only play traditional industries such as shipbuilding, papermaking and energy, but also engage in high technology such as electronic information, so the country cannot be rich. Finland's GDP is as high as 275.683 billion US dollars, surpassing Vietnam. You know, Finland has a population of just over 5 million, which is only a fraction of that of Vietnam. The severity of Finland can be seen.

Finland's per capita GDP has already exceeded $50,000, far higher than that of Europe's "troika" Germany, France and Britain. What's more, Finland has a beautiful natural environment, harmonious and simple humanities, a perfect social welfare system, a highly developed country, and a long-term national happiness index ranking first in the world. Although Finland is a small country with a small population, it is a very powerful country and is definitely a "ruthless role". As the hometown of Santa Claus, Finns are really a fairy tale country described in fairy tales. This is also the main reason why many people travel to Finland and even immigrate to Finland every year.
