📋 Tender Overview
Since 2010, the Ministry of Transport and Communications has implemented support programmes to promote high-speed broadband connections. The latest support programme expired at the end of 2023.
In addition, broadband construction is supported by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) through a support programme administered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Village network projects do not require municipalities to participate in funding, and projects may have been carried out by volunteers.
In Finland's EAFRD plan for 2023–2027, EUR 53 million has been reserved for funding broadband connections in rural areas. Between 2014 and 2022, the EAFRD financed a total of 179 projects with around €73.3 million.
