Finland Post Welfare - with English subtitles
Finland Post Welfare - Suomi hyvinvoinnin jälkeen 1994-2008 were years of continuous economic growth in Finland. This growth was spurred by Nokia's success. However, we were not able to reduce our national debt during this period. Vice versa. 300000 new jobs will need to be created within 10 years - just to curb the debt rate of the Finnish state. March 21st, Finland Post Welfare will start a revolution in Finland. Worried about the gloomy future ahead of us, we the students and future architects of Finnish prosperity are taking matters into our own hands and addressing the elephant in the national living room. In fact, if something radical is not done fast, by 2038 we will all be working in the public sector. To make this future crisis into a nation-wide hot topic, Aalto Entrepreneurship Society and its partners are gathering some of the most admired opinion leaders and iconic businessmen, as well as students, entrepreneurs and politicians, to Finlandia Hall for an evening of straight talk and honest concerns. These themes are especially important now with the upcoming parliamentary elections. hyvinvoinninjalkeen.fi

Angry Birds theme park hits Finland
SUBSCRIBE to Next Media Animation: www.youtube.com Angry Birds Land recently opened inside Sarkanniemi Amusement Park in Tampere, Finland. The first official theme park based on the Angry Birds game, Angry Birds Land is the latest example of how popular the addictive smartphone app has become. Facebook: www.facebook.com Webpage: www.nma.tv Twitter @nmatv: twitter.com Tumblr: nmatv.tumblr.com Angry Birds, created by Finnish computer game developer Rovio Mobile, invaded smartphones, then pop culture worldwide. Now it is moving in on the theme park business. An unlicensed Angry Birds park opened late September of last year in China, but Finland is the first country to host an Angry Birds park where the game's creators collaborate with park designers. "We wanted to create a unique themed area and associate it with a strong and well-known brand," Sarkanniemi Adventure Park CEO Miikka Seppala was quoted as saying in the Daily Mail. The popular game is even being developed into a major motion picture. Just because it's from Finland doesn't mean it will not be coming to a city near you! Angry Birds recently announced plans to expand to the UK, as part of its push to expand beyond games and become a major brand.
