Finland's bid to win Europe's start-up crown

Quick Summary:

Helsinki wants to become a top European start-up hub, but can it challenge London and Stockholm?

Last year, Startup Blink, a global index mapping more than 100 countries ranked Finland's start-up ecosystem the 7th best in western Europe, and 14th in the world.

He has already scaled his business from a handful of staff using the hub's hot desks to a team of around 40 working from private offices in the former hospital, as well as remotely."That has been a great experience, that we've kind of been able [to] be nurtured here in a way," he says.
