Technology industries – the largest export sector in Finland  50% of Finland’s total exports  75% of all of Finland’s private sector research and development investments  The sector’s companies employ directly 280,000 people and 700,000 people in total including those indirectly affected by the sector: that is to say, 30% of Finland’s entire labour force. Significance of exports: The export industry produces directly or indirectly up to half of the tax revenues collected by the state and municipalities.

Energy- and environment-related competences are especially important at technology industries For example, Oras:  aims to reduce energy and water consumption and the amount of waste and to increase recycling  treats environmental issues as a competitive advantage instead of a burden to set them apart from similar companies
