A finding from each layer
One result worth knowing from each data surface we hold on Finland. Each card opens the full analysis.
Critical materials
The EU's only chrome mine (Kemi) and its largest nickel-cobalt source; Sakatti and Sokli hold Critical Raw Materials Act strategic-project status.
Open →Mine-water
Below the Terrafame mine, Lake Nuasjarvi runs sulphate ~1.5x and manganese ~1.7x over its pre-mine baseline, yet nickel, cobalt and zinc stay near background. Treatment holds the metals; the salinity passes through.
Open →Physical risk
Effectively aseismic. The physical exposure is riverine and coastal flooding, the narrow zones a global hazard map misses.
Open →Energy & power
Among the EU's cheaper, lower-carbon power since the OL3 reactor came online, inside a competitive Nord Pool market.
Open →Demographics
One of Europe's oldest populations and a shrinking workforce, the demographic clock the automation push is racing.
Open →Geopolitics
Low baseline risk reshaped by a 1,340 km border with Russia and NATO accession in 2023.
Open →Everything on Finland
Every Finland-specific surface on the site, reachable from here. The four scored indices are above and the inline data layers (electricity prices, demographics) are below; these are the deep analytical surfaces and the full dashboards behind them.
