Helsinki aims to boost its international expertise According to a report by STT Info, Helsinki’s new immigration and integration development programme for 2026–2029 consolidates the city’s goals and actions to strengthen its vitality over the next few years. The programme focuses on improving the city’s capacity to attract, integrate and retain talent from abroad. The city currently has about 150,000 residents with a foreign background, representing 22 % of its population. The latest population forecast projects that this number will increase by nearly 100,000 by 2045.
