How the World Views Finland 2025: Finland’s brand remains positive, but global perceptions are divided

Education, good governance, nature, equality and happiness are themes that Finland is known for worldwide, according to Finland Promotion Board’s publication How the World Views Finland. In 2024, especially Finland’s NATO membership and security policy brought international media coverage.
