[When I first wrote this your title was "Should I move to Finland .."]

I hate to be pessimistic, but if you do move to Finland you'll struggle enormously with the bureaucracy unless you speak Finnish.

Yes you can move. Yes you can move without a job, and you should be able to incorporate, and handle the minimal business things pretty easily.. But you'll get conflicting advice from every bank you speak to, and the process will be more grueling than you imagine.

If you're registered here, have permission to stay here, and you qualify I think the fact that you're a foreigner won't discount you from grants/funding. But again the language barrier will be pretty high.

Yes, I changed the title to broaden the topic to figure out the best alternative in European Union. Finland was so far my favorite variant. Thanks for your sharing!
