The land of a thousand lakes wants to sell you some of its water.
With a seemingly endless supply of the cleanest ground water in the world, Finland's capital Helsinki has set up a company that bottles and sells what Finns get through the kitchen tap.
Nord Water won its first bulk order in January, to deliver 1.4 million bottles of water to Saudi Arabia, and is now vying for an extension that could multiply its business in the parched desert country tenfold.
The company's head, Ismo Raty, returned to Finland in March from negotiations in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh.
"They were very positive. We've been trying to get a frequent supply contract, and we are very close now. It could be something like 12 million bottles per year," Raty said.
The eight-staff firm has quite a way to go before it can claim to compete with heavyweights like Danone which sells 1.5 billion litres of top brand Evian every year, but Nord Water says it has a competitive edge in coming from a country that topped the United Nations 2003 water quality indicator.
"Our quality is very high. We've tried to build an image of this arctic northern country with clean nature and clean water," Raty said. "We try to position ourselves in the premium class, but we have to be a bit cheaper to compete."
Hundreds of millions of litres of water are processed every day at the Helsinki water authority, where Nord Water has its bottling plant, after surging through a 120-kilometre (75-mile) rock tunnel from Lake Paijanne up north.
The source is one of more than 56,000 sizeable lakes in the sparsely populated Nordic country, one tenth of which is covered with water, and Helsinki Water has environmental clearance to use five times more than the 70 billion litres it produced in 2002.
The United Nations expects booming populations, pollution and global warming to cut the average person's water supply by a third in the next 20 years, and says water scarcity could affect seven billion people in 2050.
The market for bottled water is also growing rapidly, not just in developing countries where it is needed because it is clean, but in the west where it is a "lifestyle choice" among increasingly health-conscious consumers.
With this in mind, the export organisation Finpro has studied if water could be Finland's next export success story, after Nokia's mobile phones and the pulp and paper from the vast forests that cover two thirds of the country.
