Finland’s R&D model and its role in the electronics industry

February 03, 2026
In a recent analysis, Evertiq explored which countries dominate global R&D spending. Viewed through the lens of absolute investment volumes, the picture is largely shaped by the United States and China, followed by established industrial powerhouses such as Germany, Japan and France. Shifting that lens away from global heavyweights and toward a smaller, highly R&D-intensive economy reveals a different dynamic — one where the relationship between research investment and industrial capability becomes more clearly defined. Finland provides a useful case for understanding how research investment translates into industrial capability.

January 28, 2026
For years, the global technology narrative seemed simple: the United States led in innovation, while China was primarily seen as the world’s manufacturing floor. But that picture has been changing rapidly, almost in real time. As competition between Washington and Beijing increasingly centres on technology and strategic industries, a key question emerges: do the numbers actually reflect this shift? Has China truly caught up with — or even overtaken — the United States in research and development spending? And how does the broader global ranking look beyond this high-profile rivalry?

Venezuela's minerals: huge potential, even bigger risk

January 22, 2026
In the first weeks of 2026, Venezuela returned to the headlines not because it suddenly became stable, but because Washington once again began to play the country — politically and economically. On the US side, there were signals of intensified efforts aimed at shifting the balance of power in Caracas. In practice, this points to a “reset” scenario: Venezuela re-entering the investment conversation under a new framework. But setting politics aside for a moment, what could this actually mean for the electronics industry? Is Venezuela truly an Eldorado?
