Number of Islands: 40,000 

Finland’s islands are spread across the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia in Northern Europe, covering over 1200 kilometers of coastline. These islands offer beautiful landscapes and scenic views, attracting thousands of tourists every year. However, despite the high number of islands and their contribution to the economy, Finland has a highly industrialized economy that relies mainly on industries like metals and metal products, electronics, machinery, and scientific instruments. One of the most well-known islands of the country, Åland, is famous for its picturesque beauty and maritime history.
