- Social media digital ecosystems for 7 years in using tax money to help entrepreneurs thinking over consultancy -- transparency -- openness
- Helsinki dominates despite of the recession, strong development fewer incubators, they are not interesting academic entrpreneurship lowest in the world -- picking up very little vc money, careful investors few successes public money available, but mostly paying for consultants, not financing companies
- startups - arctic universities and colleges big companies not very interested - or dont have tools financing sector looking for opportunities, not sure how public organizations hover around and make projects Tekes has money, hundreds of millions -- Nobody really understands how the business environment is changing -- Internet in 1990’s, Social media in 2000’s
