Why VR in Finland? The Next Battle Ground For Game Companies

Finland is home to notable game companies like Rovio, Remedy, and Supercell. After these companies received global attention beginning in 2009, new game companies have mushroomed in Finland adding their own share of excitement. With a population of 5.4 million people, Finnish startups target global market from day one.

China is a go-to market for Finland VR companies, thanks to its widespread VR arcades and huge population. As a case in point, Finnish game developer Reforged Studios scooped $2.5 million USD from Chinese technology company NetEase in October 2015.

TechNode interviewed four Finnish VR startup CEOs at a Slush Shanghai event held Monday in Shanghai to find out more about the VR scene in Finland.
