Finding Your Superposition in Finland

This month, I am kicking off an ambitious series of events with Business Finland and GlobalEdgeMarkets for Work in Finland as part of the “Find Your Superposition” campaign. I am pleased with the incredible momentum we’ve built over the last year and look forward to bringing Finnish representatives face to face with career applicants. For me, this project isn’t just about “talent attraction”—it’s about connecting the dots between my work and the life I have loved here in Finland for nearly ten years.

As an American who moved to southern Finland a decade ago, I know exactly what it’s like to wonder if you can walk away from “convenient” and strive for “exceptional”. That’s why the “Find Your Superposition” campaign is so close to my heart.

In quantum physics, a superposition means existing in two states at once. In Finland, it means you don’t have to choose between being a leading scientist and being a present parent, or between developing cutting-edge AI and spending your afternoons in a quiet forest.

The Heart of Finnish Innovation

Supporting this campaign throughout 2025 and 2026 has introduced me to the true “super-powers” of Finland: the people. I’ve spent time with government officials who are genuinely accessible, researchers at the top of their fields, and entrepreneurs who are redefining what’s possible.

Finland’s deep tech ecosystem is thriving, and the positions we are looking to fill right now are at the frontier of science. We are actively recruiting for roles like:

  • Quantum Computing: QPU Development Engineers at places like IQM.
  • Space Tech: Satellite Systems Specialists and Integration Technicians at ICEYE.
  • Health & BioTech: Oncology Researchers and Biomedical Scientists at Orion and our university hospitals.
  • AI & ICT: Cloud Full Stack Developers and Generative AI experts.

Bringing Finland to the US: March 2026

The feedback from the US science and business communities has been incredible—there is a surprising and growing hunger among Americans for the stability, safety, and “closeness to nature” that Finland offers. In Finland, happiness comes from having your priorities straight.

If you’re in the US, we are coming to you next week! I am so excited about our March schedule, where we’ll be sharing the “Superposition” story in person:

  • Boston, March 9: We’ll be at Hult International Business School for a special “Find Your Superposition” reception. We’ll be diving deep into Finland’s deep tech ecosystem and STEM career pathways. REGISTER HERE
  • Wakefield, Mass., March 9 – 11: Find us as partners of the United Science Group’s series of conferences: Pharma R&D , Global Energy Meet , and Catalysis and Chemical Engineering
  • The APS Global Physics Summit: We’re also connecting with the physics community at the APS Exhibit Hall and APS Career Fair , looking for the minds that will build the next generation of quantum and photonics technology.

Finding Your Community

Relocating is about more than just a contract; it’s about finding where you belong. My own journey has been enriched by the vibrant international community here. Through my work with the American Women’s Club, LohjanMonitoimiKeskus, and Bloom Finland, I’ve seen how expats find their footing and flourish. Whether you’re looking for a professional network or a group to go ice swimming with, the support system here is real.

The Future is Bright

The goal for Finland is clear: to be the world’s leading hub for high-tech experts by 2030. We are building a future defined by innovation, but rooted in well-being.
