FSC produces a quarterly barometer survey. The Barometer provides a snapshot of the startup ecosystem in Finland.

In the survey, we ask about the company's perception of its financial situation, the number of employees, and the surrounding economic situation. For each area, opinions are sought for the past and next three months.

Thus, the Barometer has six different questions. From each question, a balance figure is calculated, reflecting the sentiment of startup companies. The balance figure can range from -100 to +100. If the balance figure is greater than zero, it means that the proportion of positive responses is higher compared to the proportion of negative responses.


What kind of public policies would help startups to grow in Finland?

According to our survey's latest data, the availability of skilled workers is paramount.
