* Interest towards Russia is growing rapidly:

• Access Russia! Technopolis Business Breakfast, Vantaa (08.02.07) and at Technopolis Innopoli (09.08.07) and more similar events.
  27.11.07- "St.Petersburg Corridor" in St.Pete, 29.11.07 "Finnish-Russian Entrepreneurs" meeting in Finnish consulate in St.Pete.
• Technopolis opens offices in St.Petersburg, 500 sq. m available already!
• FinPro, Tekes and other important Finnish ICT players open “Innovation Centre” in St.Petersburg in Jan.2008

* Now, we think, time is ripe to escalate the level of this relations - Russia becomes not only a good place for nearshoring, but very soon will become a place to implement Finnish software projects. Some of them are already being implemented!

* Our main idea is that through today's cooperation between Finnish and Russian ICT companies we achieve not only cost savings, but also open the door to future, much bigger and higher level cooperation.
