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.
