City of Helsinki website being overhauled

The City of Helsinki website is being overhauled in 2021-2022. The page you are now on is part of the new hel.fi and is part of the ‘Businesses and employment’ section.

We are building this site during 2022. New content will be released in stages as the work progresses. During the transition period, some of the links will still take you to the old pages.

The City’s business liaisons perform grassroots work with Helsinki-based businesses, chart businesses’ needs and seek solutions for them. The liaisons focus in particular on businesses’ land use, space and permit matters, along with labour and know-how needs and the development of early-stage entrepreneurship and business co-operation.
