Helsinki: ETLA, Elinkeinoelämän Tutkimuslaitos, The Research Institute of the Finnish Economy, 2003, 161 p. (B, ISSN 0356-7443; No. 199). ISBN 951-628-381-0. ABSTRACT: Northwest Russia and particularly St. Petersburg were a globally im- portant development center for information and communication technologies (ICT) during 1850-1950. The region’s position of strength deteriorated after this period as a consequence of the choices made about technology and Soviet secrecy. However, the region and its ICT industries still enjoy the benefits of education provision, the re- search-oriented tradition and inherited human and industrial capital. The transition to the market economy opened up many opportunities but also resulted in the evapora- tion of uncompetitive producers like giant electronics manufacturers. It also reduced financing and changed the priorities for R&D and education. At the same time, breakthroughs in telecom technologies and the overwhelming success of mobile communications greatly influenced the ICT industries in Russia. Understanding the major changes and trends is crucial for industrial policy and business strategy deci- sion makers. In this study, we identify the Northwest Russian ICT cluster and the key matters related to its competitiveness and growth prospects in the new environment.

January 2013 THE JAMESTOWN FOUNDATION Published in the United States by The Jamestown Foundation 1111 16th St. N.W.

For more information on this report or The Jamestown Foundation, email [email protected]. JAMESTOWN’S MISSION The Jamestown Foundation’s mission is to inform and educate policymakers and the broader policy community about events and trends in those societies, which are strategically or tactically important to the United States and which frequently restrict access to such information. Utilizing indigenous and primary sources, Jamestown’s material is delivered without political bias, filter or agenda. It is often the only source of information that should be, but is not always, available through official or intelligence channels, especially with regard to Eurasia and terrorism. Origins Launched in 1984 after Jamestown’s late president and founder William Geimer’s work with Arkady Shevchenko, the highest-ranking Soviet official ever to defect when he left his position as undersecretary general of the United Nations, the Jamestown Foundation rapidly became the leading source of information about the inner workings of closed totalitarian societies.
