Finland: 30 top content companies

Today I was on the site of the the content institute in Helsinki, Finland. To my surprise, I found a top 30 on the site of content companies, exporting or doing international business. Very interesting to see that only four of the ranked companies are AV-production companies and five are advertising companies.

(The lay-out of the table can not be properly arranged, as the content management system does not have table templates; or at least I do not know about them)

This is an impressive list. I have never seen a list like that in The Netherlands. A content institute gathering this type of information would be interesting to offer insight in the export and international business of the creative industry. Some Finnish companies even work only for foreign clients.
