The innovation system and business environment of Northwest Russia

Arbeitspapier

This study, commissioned by the National Technology Agency of Finland (Tekes), evaluates the current innovation system and business environment in Northwest Russia and identifies opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation in R&D. The innovation system in Northwest Russia shares common weaknesses with the Russian national innovation system, including insufficient funding, low efficiency in many types of operations, excessive government regulation, low commercialisation of research and development findings, as well as underdeveloped bridging institutions and public-private partnerships. There is, however, also clear evidence of substantial scientific and technical potential, given the vast knowledge and diverse skills accumulated in the region, the high concentration of innovation infrastructure in St. Petersburg, and the willingness to cooperate internationally. Northwest Russia, which shares a border with Finland, is the chief focus of Finnish investors receiving about 80% of all Finnish investment in Russia. The growing number of international investment projects indicates a gradual improvement in the investment climate in Northwest Russia. This region holds a substantial potential for advancing international cooperation in many areas, including science and technology.
