Web 3.0 is the third generation of the internet, a development stage that aims to offer services that enable decentralised decision-making and commerce. Web 3.0 unlocks potentials for the emergence of novel business models and services, but it also requires a shared set of rules.

In autumn 2022, Sitra and Dottir collected views from the industry operators on the state of web 3.0 in Finland as well as on legislative measures aimed at advancing the development.

Based on those discussions with some of Finland's top experts, Dottir and Sitra created seven recommendations to improve business opportunities for web 3.0 companies in Finland.
