T&A Consulting is proud to serve as the official Knowledge Partner for Talent Boost Finland in India, propelling Finland as a world-class destination for education and careers. Our role strengthens the India–Finland talent corridor and amplifies Talent Boost Finland’s strategic objectives.
Why Finland & Why Now?
Finland’s Talent Boost programme (2023–2027) aims to attract highly skilled individuals in education and work-based immigration, targeting key countries including India, Brazil, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Source
As of mid‑2025, over 2,000 Indian students are studying in Finland, with more than 20,000 Indian nationals residing in the country. Finland aims to host 15,000 new international students annually by 2030 and raise labour immigration to 30,000 per year. Source
Showcasing Finland at Leading Platforms
We regularly represent Finland at premier events like Bangalore Tech Summit (BTS) and GIDS Developer Summit. At GIDS 2025, T&A supported Team Finland’s session “Discover Finland: Your Roadmap to Finnish Work Life”, which introduced the EU-funded Discover Finland project and the benefits of Finnish work culture to Indian tech professionals.

These platforms help us engage thousands of students, tech professionals, and entrepreneurs—and elevate Finland’s visibility as a destination for high-quality educational and career pathways. Source
Facilitating Talent Mobility
Leveraging our advisory and outreach expertise, we guide prospective students and professionals through application, visa, language, and integration processes aligned with Finland’s mobility goals.
Finland has streamlined residence and study permit processes—specialists can receive permits in just one week, while other work-based permits are issued within 30 days. There’s also strong support for language training, early‑education in English, and banking services tailored for international arrivals. Source
India is one of the four priority countries under Talent Boost, and we help eliminate information barriers by offering expert guidance at every stage.
Building a Vibrant Alumni Community
T&A is spearheading the creation of an India-based alumni network of individuals who have lived, studied, or worked in Finland.
A dedicated alumni committee manages mentoring, peer support, and cultural exchange—building organic awareness through lived experiences, including cultural fixtures like Finland’s Vappu Day festivities during Chandigarh events. Source
Partnering with Finnish Employers and Startups
To build meaningful employment pipelines, we collaborate with Finnish startups and recruitment agencies—particularly across sectors such as ICT, clean technologies, health tech, and sustainability.
Our collaborative models include:
- Curating talent pipelines for Finnish companies, especially in scale-up and innovation sectors.
- Hosting virtual job fairs, employer engagement sessions, and workshops focused on Finnish work culture.
- Advising candidates on integration, job market trends, and cultural acclimatization.
Steering Systemic Talent Strategy
T&A Consulting collaborates closely with Business Finland and Task Force Finland to support Talent Boost’s objectives, including possibilities for an upcoming bilateral MoU focusing on high-demand sectors like education, IT, and healthcare—a move expected to simplify mobility pathways. Source
We also produced and launched a “Talent Mobility from India to Finland” factsheet in partnership with the Finnish Embassy, helping raise awareness of pathways, trends, and sector demand. Source
Outcomes We’re Seeing
India is the leading non-EU source of international students for Finland’s Talent Boost Programme, with significant inbound interest from Indian tech professionals, entrepreneurs, and researchers. Source
India–Finland collaboration is expanding—with over 20 Indian companies active in Finland and more than 100 Finnish firms engaged in India. The MoU will formalize two‑way mobility and deepen investment, research, and innovation linkages.
