The city of Espoo is known as a thriving technology centre in Europe where more than 600 major international companies have established operations including Nokia, Tieto, Kone, Neste, Fortum, Orion Corporation and more. Rovio, the creator of Angry Birds, is also located in Espoo as well as Aalto university, a world-class science and technology university.
Espoo is known as the happiest city in Finland and considered one of the most intelligent communities in the world. This is due to the diversity of nationalities, about 150 countries represented, and the presence of huge international companies bringing economic advantages to the city and its residents . Espoo is officially bilingual, Finnish and Swedish, but English is common and increasingly used.
