Software Development & Web Design in Helsinki
Web design, software development and app development for Helsinki's startup, games, services and trade businesses, delivered remotely from Bucharest with hosting in Finland, in your own country.
Helsinki is Finland's capital and its start-up and games centre, with Aalto University, the Kamppi and Kalasatama districts and Slush at Messukeskus each autumn. About 694k people live in the city, and ferries to Tallinn run all day.
What a business in Helsinki has to get right
Finnish sites need a privacy notice and cookie consent, and complaints go to the Data Protection Ombudsman (Tietosuojavaltuutettu). Finland's NIS2 law, with Traficom and its NCSC-FI as supervisor, has applied since 2025, and Finvoice e-invoicing and MobilePay are everyday expectations. Helsinki games and software firms often sell abroad from day one.
How we work with Helsinki
GRADAX works from one office in Bucharest and delivers to Helsinki remotely, in the same time zone as Bucharest. Meetings happen by video, and sites can be built in Finnish and English. Hosting runs in EU datacentres in Germany and Finland, so Finnish data can stay in Finland.
