Detail
MEE (Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment) is Finland's lead ministry for AI policy. AI-related functions: (1) authorship of AI Finland (2017, updated 2019); (2) overseeing Business Finland (the AI Business Programme operator); (3) coordinating with EU on AI industrial policy. Assessment: MEE plays an SNDGO-like coordinator role but with smaller staffing and broader responsibilities. Its strength is integration with industrial policy; its weakness is dispersed focus (AI competes with broader productivity, energy transition, manufacturing competitiveness on MEE's agenda).
