Oulu ICT ecosystem in a nutshell
So, what is the Oulu ICT sector as a whole? By Finnish, and even international standards, it is big! We have some 1,000 companies varying from large internationals (such as Nokia, Mediatek, Rohm, Flex, Etteplan, Commscope and so forth) all the way to small start-ups. The majority of local businesses are relatively small with a turnover mainly of millions of euros. However, we witness scale ups constantly. In Oulu these smaller companies develop state-of-the-art technology in their focus areas. It is typical for Oulu-based companies to keep the level of technological ambition high. There is a combined workforce of some 25,000 talents, of which 80% have university degrees from Oulu or other top tech universities. We also produce plenty of new talents locally; there are nearly 1,000 new university graduates with ICT-related degrees annually.
