High-tech entrepreneurs’ success strategies in different cultural contexts
The research project coordinated by the European University at St. Petersburg analyzes success stories of high-tech entrepreneurs in Finland, Russia, South Korea and Taiwan. CEMAT was responsible for the research activities conducted in Finland. The aim of the project was to find out, what are the personal characteristics of successful high-tech entrepreneurs in different cultures, and what is the role of the local innovation system in the entrepreneurial process. In addition to the country-level analysis, the research addressed sub-national variation within Russia. This was done by implementing the study in four culturally, geographically and institutionally different locations (St. Petersburg, Kazan, Novosibirsk and Tomsk).

University students’ perceptions of entrepreneurship in the Baltic Sea Region
We have conducted research on this topic as part of EU-funded projects, led by the Small Business Center of the Aalto University School of Economics. In the Tacis-funded project Entrepreneurship Development (2007-2008) we analyzed St. Petersburg university students’ perceptions of entrepreneurship, and compared them with data on Finnish students. In the project (2009-2012) funded by the CREAENT - Central Baltic Sea - program, we implemented a comparative study on Finnish, Estonian, Latvian and Swedish art university students’ and young creative industry entrepreneurs’ perceptions of entrepreneurship in collaboration with Tallinn University of Technology, Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, and University of Tartu. During 2012, we conducted a similar inquiry for art students in St. Petersburg in cooperation with the St. Petersburg unit of Higher School of Economics.

Internationalization of film industry in the Baltic Sea Region
This research theme - carried out in the BaltMet Promo project – examines the supply of services and internationalization of companies of film industry in the Baltic Sea states, as well as the scales and the contents of international projects particularly directed to Japan. For the study, we gathered expert materials in ten Baltic Sea states (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Russia) and, on the basis of them, we conducted survey and interview research. The study produced valuable information about the degree of internationalization of film industry as well as the need for promotion important to increase internationalization.

Business security in Russia and China
The project, funded by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (Tekes), analyzed the security risks that Finnish companies encounter in Russia and China, and ways of managing such risks. The aim of the project was to shed light on the content and meaning of the concept of security as a determinant of internationalization strategies of companies, and at the same time to improve the readiness of the Finnish companies to prepare for business and security risks when they are operating in the rapidly changing business environments in Russia and China. The study focused on experiences of business security both in large, and small and medium enterprises and ways of protecting from these risks.
