In Finland, businesses involved in activities such as real estate, pharma-
ceutics, public catering, freight or passenger transportation, banking and
insurance need a special permit from the Ministry of economic affairs and
employment.
In which industry sectors are merger and acquisition
(M&A) deals most common in Finland?
Finnish know-how attracts leading international actors from various fields.
However, most M&A deals are observed in the sectors of business services,
healthcare and wellbeing, cleantech and ICT. Companies have become espe-
cially active in technology deals. This can be explained by growth in digita-
lization and the Internet of Things (IoT) as it has become more integrated
into industrial processes and products. Good target companies in this field
can be found among the numerous Finnish startups.
