Owain's corner: Immigration is the key to Finland's future
The aim of my work is to improve the ability for international experts to both join TEK, and to find their place in Finnish society. That means it is a job of bridging gaps. These bridges cannot be built from one side alone.

Canada's model for residence permits: a direct route for international talent
TEK and Ekonomit propose a new migration pathway to Finland to attract talent. Like in Canada, it would offer immigrants the opportunity to obtain an immediate permanent residence permit, with selections for this proposed pathway made on a points basis. Points could be awarded for having expertise in areas suffering labour shortages, or based on education and language skills.

TEK and Suomen Ekonomit: Time to roll up our sleeves and make Finland more immigrant-friendly

In June 2023, the Finnish Business School Graduates Suomen Ekonomit and the Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland TEK published a political pamphlet that offers perspectives on how this can be achieved in practice.
