Local Government Barometer 2024
Every two years, the Local Government Barometer survey charts cooperation between municipalities and entrepreneurs and the state of industrial policy at national, regional, and municipal levels.
For the 11th time, the Suomen Yrittäjät Local Government Barometer survey was carried out with Taloustutkimus during 12.2.–8.4. A total of 9,627 entrepreneurs responded to the survey.
We recommend that the results be utilized as widely as possible in the dialogue between municipalities and business owners and in developing the municipality’s industrial policy.
Entrepreneurs Vibrancy Barometer 2023
Suomen Yrittäjät, the Finnish SME association, charted business owners’ opinions about the vibrancy of Finnish regions with the new Suomen Yrittäjät Vibrancy Barometer study. The Vibrancy Barometer establishes business owners’ views about their regions’ vibrancy and how it can be developed, and also provides information to influential people and administration to support decision making.
The aim is to strengthen dialogue between business owners and regional authorities and build business-positive regions throughout Finland. The study will be conducted every other year with Taloustutkimus.
