Regions of Eastern Finland (Summary)
Summary of views on the 2nd Cohesion Report Regions of Eastern Finland, 27.8.2001 Regions of South Karelia, South Savo, Kainuu, North Karelia and North Savo Starting point: - The EU regional policy is important for the development of Eastern Finland regions. - During the period 1995-1999 Eastern Finland was covered by the Obj 6, 5b and Interreg II A programmes. Of these the Obj 6 programme area was defined in the Accession Treaty of Finland and Sweden on account of specific circumstances of sparse population. - In the present period until 2006 the South Savo, North Karelia, North Savo and Kainuu regions form an Obj 1 programme area. At the same time East Finland has an A support status according to Article 87.3 of the Treaty, allowing allocation of higher state aid. The region of South Karelia is covered by the Obj 2 programme. In addition there are two Interreg III A programmes implemented in the area. - The Eastern Finland regions consider that the additionality principle has not been followed in the implementation of the regional development programmes. - The Eastern Finland (NUTS II area) GDP has lowered by 2.3 % between 1995-1999 in comparison to the EU average, and by over 5 % in comparison to the national average. It is very likely that the GDP/capita of Eastern Finland will not exceed 75 % of EU15 average without (national) specific measures. Views on the future Cohesion Policy: - The enlargement and increase of territorial inequality means that sufficient structural policy resources are required to guarantee a stable regional development. It seems that the proposed 0.45 % of the GDP will not be enough in the enlarged Union. -

Ita-Suomi FI13 RIM Regional Innovation Report
Version: Final Date: 19 August 2011 Regional Innovation Monitor Regional Innovation Report (Eastern Finland/Itä-Suomi) To the European Commission Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General Directorate D – Industrial Innovation and Mobility Industries Kimmo Viljamaa Henri Lahtinen Advansis www.technopolis-group.com PREFACE The Regional Innovation Monitor (RIM)1 is an initiative of the European Commission's Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry, which has the objective to describe and analyse innovation policy trends across EU regions. RIM analysis is based on methodologies developed in the context of the INNO-Policy Trendchart which covers innovation policies at national level as part of the PRO INNO Europe initiative. The overarching objective of this project is to enhance the competitiveness of European regions through increasing the effectiveness of their innovation policies and strategies. The specific objective of the RIM is to enhance the scope and quality of policy assessment by providing policy-makers, other innovation stakeholders with the analytical framework and tools for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of regional policies and regional innovation systems. RIM covers EU-20 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. This means that RIM will not concentrate on Member States where the Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics NUTS 1 and 2 levels are identical with the entire country (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), Malta which only has NUTS 3 regions, Slovenia which has a national innovation policy or Cyprus and Luxembourg which are countries without NUTS regions. -

Travel services are designed to meet specific needs: recreation, entertainment, cognitive activity etc. In addition, travel companies must have a reliable, objective and timely information to objectively assess their market opportunities and to choose the activities in which the achievement of their goals is made possible with minimal risk and maximum certainty The Kainuu region is one of the most promising regions to attract tourists from Russia, and in particu- lar from Moscow. Kainuu is part of larger Eastern-Finnish cultural heritage. Tourism is a significant factor in the regional economics of Kainuu. It surprises with its diversity of all kinds of pastimes, start- ing from snowboarding, skiing, husky safaris, fishing and finishing with golf and ice sculptures. In order to understand what the most attractive aspects in the tour packages are, and to identify proposals on the tourist market in Moscow for the Kainuu region, this marketing research was conducted. -
Regional Economic Disparities in Finland
Muistio | Brief | 68 25.6.2018 Regional economic disparities in Finland Abstract In this note, I study the Finnish regional dispersion of economic indicators such as the GDP per capita, la- bour productivity, the employment rate and the com- pensation of employees. Moreover, I examine the re- gional-level correlation between these variables. The Paolo Fornaro results are then compared with what has been found The Research Institute of the Finnish Economy for the German and Italian economies.

The correlation between region- https://pub.etla.fi/ETLA-Muistio-Brief-68.pdf al productivity and the employment rate is lower than what is found in Italy and Germany, and the same holds for productivity and wages. The picture gathered from this analysis is mixed. Con- vergence of economic conditions is certainly positive, but the divergence of the compensation of employees can be problematic for the long-term sustainability of the Finnish regional markets. If well-paid jobs con- centrate in richer regions, there will be higher incen- tives for young and well-educated workers to move away from peripheral (in economic terms) areas, which would be at risk of stagnation.

Introduction Recruitment
Recruitment Case #1 (FIN2019): How to attract young graduates through university collaborations Abstract This case study focuses on SMEs and their university relations. Based on literature used for this case study, the difference in the needs of generation Z compared to previous generations must be addressed if SMEs want to attract young talent. To learn more about this, a survey was conducted with university students, and interviews were held both with university students and the case study company’s CEO and HR manager. The survey results concurred with what was learned from literature, and based on the survey and interviews, recommendations were made. Recommendations included practical ways for SMEs to attract a younger workforce, such as attending university events as guest speakers and advertising jobs on an application meant for university students, as well as a checklist for maintaining and increasing existing visibility among the potential workforce. Introduction In this case study we will focus on SMEs and university relations. The study will include a survey for university students, interviews with the case study company’s managers and university teachers, which will be the base for recommendations for the company to improve collaboration with the university and attract young talent. ABC Oy is a data centre company that provides cloud services and software solutions and works with artificial intelligence. The company was established in 2011 and is part of the DEF Group, which is one of the oldest companies in the region. DEF Group started as a telecommunications provider in 1898 and has developed into a cooperation that offers information and communication services1. -
