The Creative ClassGlobal competition for skills
“The key element of global competition is no longer the trade of goods and services or flows of capital, but the competition for people. ”
“ecosystem characteristics of the creative economy … enable certain places to attract and mobilize more of these creative assets than others.”

Culture of tolerance and open-mindedness Richard Florida and Irene Tinagli
These measures should be looked at as leading indicators of creative ecosystems –
…habitats open to new people and ideas, where people can easily network and connect, and where bright ideas are not stifled but are turned into projects, companies and growth.
“Tolerance – openness to new people and ideas, what one can think of as low barriers to entry for people – is a critical element of this environment.”

Facilitating cross-border research collaborations
The long-term objective for the Helsinki-Tallinn Science Twin City project is to be a “science bridge” for increasing cooperation in science, science park cooperation and high-tech business development.
The approach has been to pool resources and promote closer cooperation between science and high-tech business communities in the two cities.

TOWARD THE EXPERIMENTALEXPERIMENTAL CORPORATION AND THE EXPERIMENTALEXPERIMENTAL ECONOMY
Finland in a digital era: How do wealthy nations stay wealthy?
John Zysman, University of California, Berkeley
Certainly the traditional strategy efforts, devising a strategy after careful logical assessment and then purposefully implementing that strategy, may be inadequate.
One thing is certain; another structural transformation as
significant as that in the 80s lies ahead; and it will require industrial and political imagination to succeed.
Jan-Henrik Johansson, 20.02.2005
Baltic Sea as a Global HubStrategy
Instead of
a haystack of networks and small projects
with modest or no impact
The Baltic Sea Regions needs
a cohesive co-operation model for joint R&D
to integrate into the global economy
Jan-Henrik Johansson, 20.02.2005
Issues for the RegionResearch needed
Maybe we cannot control, but we must learn to monitor and measure the impact – good or bad - of the knowledge economy
The knowledge economy develops fast – too fast. How should we relate progress to socio-economic objectives and benefits?
Jan-Henrik Johansson, 20.02.2005
If creativity is competitivenesswhat should Baltic Sea regions do?
Jorma Ollila:Nokia CEO
Finland should become the most flexible and adjustable country in
Europe

Regional Cross-border CooperationThe Baltic node in the global economy
Cross-border cooperation between Baltic Sea
regions, knowledge centres and business:
Technology foresight for regional planners
Resource sharing – living labs (piloting)
“Global” Living and working in the global city
Networking clusters of innovation
