The programme’s mission is to help participants reach their business goals over the three months while falling in love with Helsinki’s unique lifestyle. 90 Day Finn is the perfect opportunity to understand and embrace the Finnish culture, live life sustainably, and advance as a professional abroad.

Perhaps down to Helsinki’s unique culture, which has led to the city being recognised as one of the top places in the world for work-life balance.

The successful 90-Day Finn programme from Helsinki is back for the third year, filled with even more ambition and activity than ever before. In practice, it means you can build a successful career and still have enough time and energy for a flourishing personal life. The scheme allows participants to plunge into one of the world’s most innovative and thriving business ecosystems.

The success of 90 Day Finn speaks for itself, with 20% of alumni still living in the city today. This number is about to grow as more of the previous 90 Day Finns are applying for residence permits with support from Helsinki Partners. Picture cold water swimming, saunas, and skiing; all possible in your daily life.

The programme is searching for 15 driven founders, investors and business professionals who are looking for expansion opportunities or a new investment challenge, as well as inspirational change-makers that want to see real change in the immediate future.

Applications for the programme, which offers a 90 Day relocation package to people from across the globe, are open from the 24th of January 2023 until the 24th of February. As part of the programme, participants will be given a vibrant workspace in the city centre and introduced to relevant business networks and hubs.

Helsinki is home to some of the most innovative businesses in the world. Importantly, no one is scared of failure, and success comes from learning what works and doesn’t. Freedom for trial and error is part of what makes Helsinki so unique.

The alumni from past 90 Day Finn programmes took us under their wing, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting great entrepreneurs who have helped accelerate the speed of business through introductions and connections.

Hernandez adds: “I chose to stay on after the 90 Day Finn programme because Finland offers me something other cities didn’t – a real work-life balance. Alongside a thriving entrepreneurial community, there are plenty of exciting opportunities for those looking to level up their lifestyles, with abundant nature on the doorstep and access to waterfronts and forests in the city itself.

Finn 2022 Participant Damon Hernandez, entrepreneur, founder, and investor, explains, “During the programme, I developed such deep friendships with people from all around the world that I may have never crossed paths with. I now have more free time to do things that are unrelated to work, and there is a real close-knit community feel.”

The start-up scene in Helsinki benefits from considerable venture capital investment, totalling €743 million in 2021.

90-Day My daily routine is entirely different.

Ranked among the best in the world for equality, education and societal performance and fifth in the global ranking of world’s safest countries in 2021, as well as providing public healthcare to all permanent residents and subsidised childcare, it’s not only the community and business network that are attractive to newcomers.
