Inari in Finland – attractiveness and Arctic advantage

Inari is the largest and one of the most prosperous municipalities in Finland sharing a border with Russia and Norway. Pristine Arctic nature is key to the attractiveness of the area – both as somewhere to live, but also in terms of the development of business opportunities. This includes traditional activities like reindeer herding and tourism, but also newcomers like cold climate testing.

Inari has joint borders with two countries and four official languages. This makes Inari special and interesting for tourists providing business opportunities. In Inari, people highlight the quality and simplicity of life: being close to nature and the social trust between people.
