The Next Generation EU (NGEU) funding package provided funding for the Sustainable Growth Programme for Finland. The initiative is specifically a component of Finland's Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRF), the NGEU's principal tool.

The initiative promotes investments and changes for Finland's ecological, social, and economic sustainability. The program for sustainable growth aims to:

- Reduce emissions of greenhouse gases;

increase in productivity;

- Boost the rate of employment;

- Quicken the process for getting care;

- Improve gender, socioeconomic, and regional equity.

As a result, the program encourages the green transition in a welfare-oriented society that develops a digital economy that is open to all and enhances health and social services.
