The happiest country in the world

What’s it like to live in Finland?

Finland is said to be the happiest place in the world. Here’s why!

6G Flagship Careers #1

Land of innovators

Finland has a long history of technological innovation and business. Daily, close to 3 billion people use technology developed in Oulu. We are a nation of early adopters, working on technologies such as 6G, AI, and industrial IoT, to name a few. You’ll be in good company!

6G Flagship Careers #2

A safe and stable environment

Finland has been ranked the world’s happiest country now for 6 consecutive years. 

Oulu is located in northern Finland, which is widely regarded as one of the world’s safest and most stable regions. 

The crime rate is low, children attend school free, and municipal childcare and universal healthcare are available to all residents. 6G Flagship employees receive occupational healthcare. Finland takes care of your family, and we take care of you. 

6G Flagship Careers #3

A High Standard of Living

Oulu has excellent public services and a strong economy. The air is fresh and the water is clean straight from the tap. There is no pollution. You’ll be spending your free time with your family and friends, not in traffic. Whether you live in the heart of the city or by a lake, your housing costs are reasonable. 

Oulu’s population is diverse, with people from all over the world calling it home. Will you be calling it home soon, too?

Welcome to the University of Oulu

Small city – World-class research

Oulu may be compact, but it is also very smart! A university degree is held by one-third of Oulu’s 250 000 residents.

Oulu is also a major high-tech hub. We have 50 years of experience in ICT and related operations, and these technologies are used by almost 3 billion people every day.

The University of Oulu is an international science university in the north. It is home to the world’s first 6G Flagship research centre. Telecommunications technology, particularly wireless telecommunications research, has been a strength of the University of Oulu since the 1st G in the 1980s. It has had a significant impact on the expert and business ecosystem that has developed around Oulu University.

Why choose Oulu?

Rector Jouko Niinimäki tells about the University of Oulu where 6G Flagship resides.

“I came from Spain as an Erasmus student in 2005, did all my studies here and never left,” says Associate Professor Miguel Bordallo López.

“Finland looked very attractive to me because it had good educational system, it had safety in the society, it was one of the most equal countries in the world,” says Wireless Communications Engineering alumnus Samad Ali.

Many high-ranking experts have chosen Oulu and the University of Oulu. Professor Mehdi Bennis and PhD candidate Katherine Mimnaugh, who have made Oulu their permanent home, discuss their motivations in relocating to Oulu.

Professor Mehdi Bennis is an IEEE Fellow, Academy of Finland Research Fellow, who works at the Centre for Wireless Communications and 6G Flagship at the University of Oulu. He belongs to 1% of the world’s most influential researchers.

Correspondent Karjalainen shows to navigate the Tietotalo (aka “Knowledge House”). This is where 6G Flagship is located at the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, on the University of Oulu Linnanmaa campus.
