The innovation train on the small screen

E71_24.10.2009_Sotkamo 059The small screen is another way of seeing the reality.  Nokia was the leader of mobile technology for a long time, but things have changed.

It might take a year or more for Nokia to run through the circle of confusion and find the way to mobile mastering.

Nokia is still a big player and if the historical black box delivers the simple mechanism for future innovation and prosperity then we’ll see Nokia as a major performer ten years from now.

But the world has changed fast since the introduction of iPhone. That was a disruptive innovation and the small singular moment of change has already happened. The observed moment of change is already here.

What will be the next big thing?

Kouvola Nordic China Center Summer 2007

Kouvola is a small town in Kymenlaakso Finland.

The municipalities and towns around Kouvola are planning to create a bigger city.

We've a similar process in Porvoo and Loviisa.

We visited Kouvola in June 2007 to get a picture about the Nordic China Center.

I plan to write more about the Chinese business mission.

Our friend, Alf Stenwall, reported from Singapore that the work permits problem still exists.

I've to digg into this and write more in the near future.

Nordic China Center is an interesting concept. There is a second project in Vantaa Finland.
