Nordic Startup News Early Stage Startup News From The Nordics
With virtual reality the next frontier for digital innovation, a growing number of Finnish companies are offering a pioneering look at things to come.
Science fiction has always offered far-fetched future imaginings of various shapes and sizes. Sometimes, however, this crystal ball gazing also comes true. A self-driving car? Google now has the answer. Video conferencing? Thanks Skype. How about virtual reality, then?

Given Finland’s status as a global player in IT, it’s no surprise then that it’s also home to a hive of VR development. Alongside individual companies increasingly attracting funding, the local VR community Fivr also received a 250 000-euro capital boost in April from the Technology Industries of Finland Centennial Foundation.
In light of VR’s healthy forecast in Finland, Good News Finland has profiled 3 local companies at the forefront.
