Graphics and Media Industry

With its high penetration of cell phones and Internet connections, its high readership and numbers of newspapers and magazines, Finland is truly a land of communications. This sparsely populated land, in which both homes and companies are online, is also a significant communications laboratory for the whole of Europe. The Finnish information society has its roots in the traditional forest sector, but it owes much to rapidly developing telecommunications. The raw materials for printing are still very much on hand. But the graphics and media industry also increasingly exploits and benefits from advances in electronic communications.
