In a recent LinkedIn post, Bettina Briz highlights a monumental €15 billion infrastructure project connecting Finland and Estonia, emphasizing the pivotal role of Family Office capital in realizing such ambitious ventures. Briz announces the partnership between Finna Inc. and Finest Bay Area Development to bring Family Office funding to the Helsinki-Tallinn Tunnel.
The scale of the project is immense, involving not just a 103-kilometer rail link beneath the Gulf of Finland, but also a Gigawatt-scale AI data center under the seabed, a new power grid connecting Nordics and Continental Europe, and the integration of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and offshore wind power. This development promises to reduce the travel time between Helsinki and Tallinn from two hours by ferry to just 20 minutes by train.
“Infrastructure built to serve generations, should be financed by investors who think in generations. That’s Family Offices.”
The Generational Investment Thesis
Bettina Briz posits that the underlying thesis of this €15 billion project mirrors the core mission of Finna Inc. According to Briz, the key to generational wealth accumulation for affluent families lies not solely in superior investment returns, but more significantly in the sophisticated structure surrounding their wealth.
Democratizing Family Office Structures
Traditionally, this level of wealth structuring has been exclusive to the world’s wealthiest families. However, Briz points out that Finna Inc. is actively working to change this paradigm, aiming to offer Family Office-like structures to a broader audience. As Bettina Briz states:
“That level of structure has been reserved for the wealthiest families in the world. Finna Inc. is changing that. It’s timely, it’s ripe for the 45 million U.S. households who’ve never been offered their own FO/FAMILY OFFICE.”
The successful backing of the Helsinki-Tallinn Tunnel project by Family Office capital, as detailed by Briz, serves as a powerful demonstration of Finna Inc.’s platform capabilities at an unprecedented scale. Bettina Briz expressed pride in the project’s achievement, noting its significance for the future of infrastructure financing.
Leadership and Vision Behind the Project
Briz specifically credits Christian Lindekilde, PhD, for his instrumental role in orchestrating this massive undertaking. Lindekilde’s extensive experience, including over two decades managing Family Offices at UBS and overseeing more than $30 billion in wealth, provided the foundation for Finna Inc.’s innovative approach. According to Bettina Briz:
“His 20+ years running FOs at UBS overseeing $30B+ in wealth, and watched families get access to something most families never will. Then he built Finna Inc. to change that paradigm. Today is proof it’s working.”
Briz, identifying herself as a proud investor and Board Advisor, concludes her post by emphasizing the potential for such large-scale, generationally-focused projects and inviting further discussion and collaboration. The announcement signifies a major step in bridging continents and demonstrating a new model for financing transformative infrastructure through the strategic deployment of Family Office capital.
