Finland is one of the world's leading countries in clean technology. It has developed efficient energy and pollution control methods due to its harsh climate and lack of fossil fuels. While Finland used to have issues with water pollution and air quality due to its natural resource-based industries, persistent public-private sector collaboration has led to protected nature and cutting-edge environmental expertise. Finland invests heavily in cleantech despite its small GDP, allocating over 1/3 of public R&D funds to it and accounting for over 1% of the global cleantech market. Key Finnish cleantech areas include energy/material efficiency, bioenergy/biofuels, water treatment, and green building. Economic growth is now detached from environmental impacts in
