			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Latest research report by Mc Kinsey &amp; Company estimates that healthcare sector in the Persian Gulf countries will reach US$60 billion in 2025, up from US$12 billion today.  No other region in the world faces such a rapid growth. Treatment demand alone is expected to grow 240% in the next 20 years.</p>
<p>This will create new opportunities for healthcare related ICT solutions and services. In particular the report cites IT systems that report clinical quality and financial data at the procedure, department and institutional levels creating transparency for decision makers on current performance and areas of improvement. Also clinical vertical software applications that address specific areas such as diabetes, heart diseases, remote monitoring and cancer screenings are in great demand.</p>
<p>You can find the Mc Kinsey report from:</p>

<p><strong>Kaakkois-Euroopasta kultakaivos Suomen ICT-yrityksille</strong></p>
<p>Keski- ja Kaakkois-Eurooppa on kiinnostava jatkuvasti kehittyvien maiden markkina-alue. Useissa alueen maissa ICT-markkinat kasvavat taantumankin aikana lähes kymmenen prosenttia vuosittain. Alueen työvoiman osaaminen ja palkkataso ovat kilpailukykyisiä, erityisesti Länsi-Eurooppaan verrattuna. Siitä huolimatta suomalaiset ICT-alan yritykset ovat ali-investoineet alueelle. </p>
<p>Keski- ja Kaakkois-Eurooppa ovat muodostumassa uudeksi ohjelmisto- ja digiosaamisen keskittymäksi. Alueella toimivat kansainväliset yritykset lisäävät panostuksiaan taantumasta huolimatta. Ne rekrytoivat lisää henkilöstöä olemassa oleviin kehitys- ja palvelukeskuksiin sekä siirtävät alihankintatyötä alueelle, Finpron konsultti Tommi Pelkonen sanoo.</p>
<p>Suomalaisyritysten mahdollisuuksia Keski- ja Kaakkois-Euroopan alueella ovat juuri lähialueiden alihankinta ns. nearshoring sekä myynnin, myyntikanavien ja liiketoiminnan kehittäminen.</p>
<p>Kunkin yrityksen tulisi kyetä arvioimaan omaa sijoittumistaan alueella yritykselle itselleen tärkeimmillä arviointiperusteilla. Yritysten kannalta makrotalouden lukuja tärkeämpää on löytää mikrotason liiketoimintakumppaneita, päästä sisään alan verkostoihin aktiivisena toimijana ja osaamisen tuojana, Pelkonen korostaa.</p>
<p><strong>Alueen mailla on käytössään miljoonatuet IT-kehitykseen</strong></p>
<p>Lähes kaikilla Keski- ja Kaakkois-Euroopan mailla on käynnissä kansalliset ohjelmansa, joilla pyritään houkuttelemaan maahan niin valmistavaa teollisuutta kuin huippuosaamista tarjoavia yrityksiä. ICT-alan yritykset ovat olleet halutuimpien investoreiden joukossa ja näiden saamiseksi alueen tärkeimmät yliopistokaupungit ovat valtion ja EU:n tuella investoineet hautomo-, yrityspuisto- ja innovaatioverkostotoimintoihin. </p>
<p>Valtioiden tarjoamat veroedut sekä osaavan kohtuuhintaisen työvoiman saatavuus ovat tuoneet Kaakkois-Eurooppaan muun muassa Nokian, Nokia Siemens Networksin, British Telecomin, SAP:n, Microsoftin, HP:n, Oraclen, IBM:n ja Ciscon. Suomalaisyrityksistä alueella toimivat mm. Tieto, Ixonos, Itella Information, Comptel, Movial, Apaja ja Sanako. Myös Sanomalla on merkittävä rooli lähes kaikkien alueen maiden mediamarkkinoilla.</p>
<p>Eurooppalaiset yritykset ovat keskittäneet esimerkiksi taloushallintoa, asiakaspalvelua ja ostotoimintoja alueelle. Siksi ne voivat olla erittäin kiinnostavia asiakkaita suomalaisille, samoin kuin alueella toimivat kansainväliset ja paikalliset yritykset. Tämän lisäksi suomalaiset ICT-yritykset voivat saavuttaa suoria kustannushyötyjä alihankinnalla, Pelkonen kertoo. </p>
<p>Alueen maiden mahdollisuudet poikkeavat toisistaan kiinnostavalla tavalla. Esimerkiksi 70 miljoonan asukkaan Turkki on lähitulevaisuudessa Euroopan suurin ICT-alan kasvumarkkina. Turkki toimii myös porttina Lähi-itään. Bulgarian pääkaupungista Sofiasta on puolestaan muodostunut IT-yritysten keskittymä Balkanin alueella. Kreikka puolestaan saa paljon EU-rahaa teknologiakehitysasteensa nostamiseksi. Budapestissa on jo nyt lähes 2000 telekommunikaatioon erikoistuneen ohjelmoijan ja suunnittelijan yhteisö alan johtavissa yrityksissä, jotka tekevät myös tuotekehitystä. Bulgaria ja Romania taas ovat alhaisen kustannustason vuoksi houkuttelevia vaihtoehtoja jopa Intialle alihankinnan kustannustehokkuuden kannalta.</p>
<p><strong>Luovuutta strategioihin</strong></p>
<p>Pelkosen mukaan suomalaisten ICT-yritysten kansainvälistymisstrategiat ovat usein mielikuvituksettomia.<br />
Suomalaisten ohjelmisto- ja digimediayritysten strategiat toistavat itseään, mikä on kenties merkki niiden heikkoudesta. Ensin lähdetään Ruotsiin, Isoon-Britanniaan, Saksaan, Ranskaan ja Yhdysvaltoihin ja sitten haetaan tehoja Kiinasta ja Intiasta, mikä ei välttämättä kasvata markkinaosuutta. Esimerkiksi Yhdysvaltoihin on paljon helpompi myydä tuotteita tai palveluita, jos pystyy osoittamaan, että niillä on jo satojatuhansia tai jopa miljoonia käyttäjiä esimerkiksi Turkissa tai Romaniassa, Pelkonen vinkkaa.</p>
<p>Finpron yhdessä työ- ja elinkeinoministeriön kanssa tekemässä selvityksessä analysoitiin suomalaisen ohjelmisto- ja digitaalisen median liiketoimintamahdollisuuksia Keski- ja Kaakkois-Euroopan 16 maan ja lähes sadan miljoonan kuluttajan heterogeenisellä markkina-alueella. Selvityksen tuloksia esiteltiin työ- ja elinkeinoministeriön seminaarissa 28.5. Salossa.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CEE is about to emerge a major player in the international software business. Budapest already is a major Telecom R&amp;D location with strong presence of Nokia, NSN and Ericsson. Moreover, Sofia, Belgrade, Bucharest among smaller centers are constantly investing more and to attact ICT talent and -companies to the cities.</p>
<p>This is an opportunity that really should be looked at and analysed. Below you will find my short presentation on the markets and the opportunities. Comments very much welcome!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finnagora <a href="http://www.finnagora.hu">www.finnagora.hu</a> organised a good &amp; really interactive seminar on Hungarian-Finnish Vocational Training. I was asked to give a presnetation on the topic from a &#8220;foreign investor point of view&#8221;. So I summerized the last 2 years learning from subcontracting &amp; investment location studies. I have also conatcted some Finnish businessmen to get their views on the regional competitiveness on labour!</p>
<p>The main outcomes I would like to share are the followings:</p>
<ul>
<li>Still the unique &amp; more complex manufacturing and coding demand could utilise the regional resources, the mass ones of course going to China &amp; India</li>
<li>Even the educational systems in trouble in CSE &#8211; underfinanced operations, image of teachers and bad reputation of &#8220;productive&#8221; jobs such welders, CNC-turner, still the regional work force even in Slovekia &amp; Hungary is still commited to work and innovative &amp; cheaper than in Scandinavia!</li>
<li>Enterpreneurship is still not part of this &#8220;youngsters&#8221; thinking &amp; even they are not flexible to find job even within the country!</li>
<li>The participations of companies with financial support or even involvment of &#8220;future&#8221; educational needs are weak. Just in Hungary the whole centralised regional educational centers were established in 2006, forcing private &amp; public sector to work on &amp; develope educational systems (programs) for the future needs of labour market! &#8211; with strong EU subsidies!</li>
</ul>
<p>Please see my slides attached!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Better way to understand the current situation in the financial crisies if we collect the ”facts &amp; feelings” from the field. That is why, we with some collegues conducted a survey as follows</p>
<ul>
<li>The covered sectors were:  Construction,  Logistics &amp; Machinery sector</li>
<li>The geographical coverage was Central and Southeast  Europe: Austria, Czech Republic,  Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria &amp; Turkey</li>
<li>Heads of relevant associations and three major companies were contacted</li>
<li>Methodology was a phone-based survey </li>
<li>Around 100 managers &amp; association experts were contacted</li>
<li>Conducted in February 2009.</li>
<li>Idea is to repeat in six moths!</li>
</ul>
<p> Special note: the survey was  not built on representative primary research approach , it just gave some “feelings” &amp; summarize some ”subjective thoughts” from market players` point of views.</p>
<p>Some main findings:</p>
