The machinery and equipment industry accounts for one-third of the R&D activities in the Finnish manufacturing sector. Since 2017, the Finnish machinery and equipment industry has increased its R&D investment more than its counterparts in other countries. In Finland, the growth rate of R&D investment in medium-sized companies has been faster than in small and large companies. However, according to a survey, small companies are expected to increase their R&D investment more than medium-sized and large companies by 2027.
