Virtual Finland project

The purpose of Virtual Finland, a project headed by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, was to make it easier for foreign employees, companies, and students to relocate to Finland.

We aimed to speed up the relocation process by providing digital tools based on trusted standardized data and digital identification of the applicant.

Project funding

The Virtual Finland project was part of Finland’s Sustainable Growth Programme. A total of EUR 4 million in funding was allocated to it from the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). Finland supported the project by EUR 2 million. The project was implemented in 2021–2024.
