Rovio Entertainment SVP, Henri Holm Reuters/Bobby Yip When you think of Finnish startups, Rovio likely comes to mind.

The Angry Birds game maker is insanely successful and has been the subject of IPO rumors since early 2011. Some have suggested the company may file its IPO next year.

But Finland has a number of other promising startups, thanks in part to government support of young companies in the country.

Tekes, the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation, has invested more than $66 million in the gaming industry since 1995.

Last year, Tekes invested about $180 million in startups.
