How Nordic companies innovate by Jørn Bang Andersen and Hans Christian BjørneNordic Innovation
The document provides insights from a survey of 800 business leaders from 100 Nordic companies on innovation practices. Key findings include:
1) Nordic companies primarily innovate within the "Offering" dimension, focusing on products/services.
2) Only 41% of companies have a formal innovation strategy, but those with strategies have higher innovation focus, effort, and internal alignment.
3) Most Nordic companies have an unfocused approach to innovation and put low effort into innovation activities.
The document recommends companies develop innovation strategies to increase focus, effort, and returns from innovation investments. Strategies should be based on differentiating dimensions and coordinated across internal/external partners.
The document summarizes findings from the 2012 Nordic Growth Entrepreneurship Review (NGER). It finds that the Nordic region has high levels of startup activity and gazelles, defined as firms with 20% annual growth over 3 years that are less than 2 years old. Gazelles have contributed positively to job creation from 2006-2009, though individual gazelles are small. Finnish gazelles are better job creators. The Nordic region has strong framework conditions for entrepreneurship, second only to the US, UK, and Canada, with Finland ranking highest among Nordic countries. The document recommends developing better data on startups and serial entrepreneurs, as well as creating a diagnostic tool and Nordic partnership to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems

Marco Marinucci - Mind the Bridge - Stanford - 2010Burton Lee
This document summarizes the state of entrepreneurship and venture finance in Italy. It notes that Italy has a large number of small and medium enterprises but lacks large companies. Innovation plays a minor role in the economy. Venture capital investment is also limited, with only around €70 million invested annually in early-stage startups. While Italy performs well in basic research, there are issues in commercializing research into businesses due to a lack of technology transfer and entrepreneurial skills.

This document analyzes corporate R&D investment and intensity in the EU and other major economies from 2005-2013. It finds that while the EU saw stable R&D investment growth, there are no signs it will close the intensity gap with competitors. The EU's lower overall R&D intensity is mainly due to structural factors like sector mix rather than underinvestment. Individual EU firms invest similarly in R&D as competitors in their sectors. But smaller EU firms invest less in R&D than US counterparts. Most global corporate R&D is concentrated in the US, EU, Japan, and a few industries. The findings suggest EU policy should address industrial structure and attract more top global R&D investors to help achieve its R

Exporting Irish Seaweed Cosmetics to Norwaypaultel
A presentation we did for our International Sales course at University College Cork, Ireland. We looked at the potential for an Irish company called Ri Na Mara to export and market their seaweed cosmetics to Norwegian consumers.
The Norwegian economy is at a crossroads as oil and gas production and prices decline. Innovation Norway is working to help reorient the petroleum/maritime cluster towards new activities by leveraging the competencies in those industries for other sectors. While Norway is often seen as a "moderate innovator," Innovation Norway's studies show that innovation spending and activities are underreported and Norway innovates more than metrics capture. Standards can help companies internationally by providing a common language and reducing risks and costs, but innovation ultimately depends on people.

Jonas Törnblom, Director Marketing and Communication, Envac GroupNordic Innovation
Envac AB aims to contribute to better urban environments through innovative waste collection systems. Nordic countries can help rapidly urbanizing cities achieve UN sustainability goals through sharing best practices in areas like district heating and renewable energy. Key differences in Nordic governance include independent city finances, flat structures, solution-orientation, and trust between public and private sectors. Examples from Stockholm, like district energy networks using sewage and renewable sources, have inspired many but created little export. To increase exports of Nordic sustainable solutions requires intensified public-private cooperation at home and abroad, better documentation of best practices, communicating solutions in multiple languages, and educating foreign decision makers on the Nordic model.

The document discusses the use of the "Kid's Tracks" method for involving children and youth in urban planning processes. Kid's Tracks is a mapping exercise where children document how they use their neighborhoods. Their results identify important areas, access issues, and community values. Three municipalities that used Kid's Tracks are highlighted: Ski identified a need for more public spaces in the city center; Giske found poor access to the shoreline and nature; and Bodø recognized non-active areas. Lessons learned are that Kid's Tracks is only a participation tool, it creates a new focus on social values, and involving children makes participation more fun.
