Development of the Finnish ICT labor market
• The ICT labour market
weakened in 2012 in
Finland
• Further decline is
expected before the
situation improves
• The situation in Uusimaa
now follows a similar
pattern as the rest of the
country

The Economic Significance of Startups and Growth Clusters on a National Level
• Case Silicon Valley– Stanford Entrepreneur companies generate 2,7 trillion USD in
revenue annually, and have created 5,4 million new jobs. ***
• During the last three decades in the US:– Economic growth has been solely based on the value created by
technology companies, and especially the IT sector *
– Companies under 5 years of age have created over 40 million jobs accounting for all of the country’s net job growth. **

How can Finland Create the
Thousands of ICT Jobs It Needs?
Case: The Helsinki Region
Software and Related Services are the Driver of Growth in the Helsinki Region
• 75% of Finland’s about 11 000
ICT companies
are in software or software
related services
• The number of these firms is up
by 40% during six years with
employment growth throughout
the third millennium
• Of these firms, 50% are in
Uusimaa and a third in the
Helsinki Region

Why do the favorable circumstances not result in growth and competitiveness?• According to several surveys, Finland is one of the best places to do business*
• There is a strong concentration of ICT knowhow and growth potential in the
Helsinki Region
• Yet, a significant innovation and growth cluster that draws in international
capital and talent, has not formed.
– Is this because we lack world-class skills?
– Do we lack entrenrepeurs with willingness to grow internationally?
– Or do we already have all the key ingredients to form a growth cluster,
but the ingredients are not getting mixed?

Learning from International Success Stories• Finland has many encouraging examples:
– People and knowhow for creating world-class growth companies
– ”Communities of growth”, that have collaborative culture of sharing, learning and doing
– Setting highly ambitious goals
– Finnish role models from global success stories
• Successful firms have compensated the missing ingredients in the
ecosystem by creating the ingredients themselves or by bringing them to
Finland from abroad.
• Unfortunately, these highly successful cases are rare– This raises the question, what can we learn from them in order to stimulate more growth?
Possible Catalysts of a growth ecosystem?
1. The ingredients of growth (e.g. resources, knowhow) must be brought
together more effectively (for example, through shared spaces).
2. A culture of collaboration in doing, learning and sharing must be enhanced.
3. Public entrepreneurship services must be brought closer to firms with growth
potential and made more easily accessible.
4. There must be a common vision to catalyze the development a leading ICT
cluster, and what resources, actors, and decisions are needed to accomplish
this.
5. This leading cluster of growth entrepreneurship will pull international talent
and funding to Finland (the absence of which has slowed down growth).
