Neogames Finland joins The Finnish Startup Community, the representative associations Technical Industries of Finland and Suomen Ekonomit (“Economists of Finland”) as well as the City of Helsinki to suggest measures for streamlining and improving the labour migration process. The proposed measures and their impacts are outlined in the publication “Smoothing labour migration: one-stop shop principle and two-week promise”, which aims to provide decision-makers with tools to boost Finland’s competitiveness and attract international labour.
The game industry stands as Finland’s leading cultural export sector, yet it struggles with a talent shortage. At its core, the industry’s competitiveness hinges upon its ability to attract and retain top-tier international talent. 30% of the industry’s workforce comprises highly skilled individuals who have immigrated to Finland, often with their families. The attractiveness of Finland for leading global industry talents has enabled Finnish game companies to prosper in tough international competition and level up the skills of the local industry talent to a world-class level.
