Finland has commercial clout far in excess of its modest 5.4 million population. Finland routinely ranks at the very top in international surveys of research and development funding, competitiveness, transparency, literacy, and education. Helsinki, is a pocket-sized green maritime metropolis, and the Design Capital for 2012; a yearlong event showcasing the global influence of Finnish design and innovation. In Finland, nature reigns supreme and it is no surprise that Helsinki was the site of the first LEED certified building in the Nordics. Finland, along with all its Nordic neighbors, has a focused interest in green build and energy efficient and intelligent building products, services and technologies. Contrary to popular misconception, Finland is not a part of Scandinavia.

Steering and Monitoring Model of State-Owned Enterprises Introduction Privatisation of stated-owned enterprises (SOEs) gained considerable momentum in developing and developed countries in the 1980s and 1990s (The World Bank, 2006, p. 3).
