Online lectures

Clusters have played a key role in our efforts to understand and boost the economic development of nations and regions for decades. In Finland, the concept of ecosystem is replacing that of cluster. Still, we need to understand the cluster dynamics to grasp economic development fully.

PLEASE NOTE: I have been unable to resolve the visibility issues. I’ve tested in other locations and everything is fine. When I plug in my laptop in D13, I lose 1/4, if not more, of the presentation. Strangely, on campus everything is fine, but the recordings and online are not.
