Abstract
During the last two centuries, Finland has undergone a dramatic transformation: from one of Europe’s poorer and more peripheral countries, to a fast-growing high-tech economy. Finland has proven successful in reaping the benefits of openness to trade by moving up the value-added ladder. The country went from being a supplier in furs and tar in the pre-industrial era, to industrializing by exporting sawn goods, pulp and paper. In the post-war period, a definite transition to high-value-added exports took place, with companies such as UPM (bio-and forest industries), Kone (elevators and escalators) and Nokia (mobile telephony) reaching world recognition.
