On "Good Morning Finland" Tomorrow (Tuesday) morning
I'll be on the MTV3 channel on the "Good Morning Finland" -program again tomorrow (15.12.2009) morning at around 7am (or so).
This time the topic is entrepreneurship, growth companies, their financing and positive impact on the economy etc.
I'll be there with mr. Petri Niemi (Senior Partner, CapMan), who heads their technology team. Petri is also a fellow member of the Vigo steering group that I'm a member of.
Joining us via satellite (just kidding.. via the phone) is minister Mauri Pekkarinen, who's domain is the economy, trade and industry etc (minister of economic affairs).
Again, this is live television so all plans can change any minute, and the whole thing might get cancelled before they greenlight it.
I'm hoping to touch in a few issues in a "gentle way" (not pushing it with too much aggression), and hoping to get a fair conversation going. It's no surprise that I think there's more we could do to support entrepreneurship, growth companies and positive economic development in this country.
.. meanwhile here's a few old videos of similar topics from previous visits to the show. They all in finnish I'm afraid:
Taneli Tikka in Huomenta Suomi talking about serial entrepreneurship (in finnish) from Taneli Tikka on Vimeo.
..and another:
Taneli Tikka talking about a genetics startup (in finnish) on Huomenta Suomi from Taneli Tikka on Vimeo.
.. watch it and participate in getting the good message out there!

Hi. My name is Taneli Tikka. This is where I preach what I practice. I'm a
serial entrepreneur and a startup activist of sorts. People usually know me
from my past and present consumer Internet service projects: IRC-Galleria,
Dopplr, Muxlim, StarDoll, RunToShop, Vakuutuskone.com, and a bunch of other stuff. My
"proper" bio is behind this link. Glad to see you here, thanks for browsing
around.

Question our motivation
Mon, 2009-12-14 17:33 — Antti Vilpponen (not verified)Taneli, you should definitely ask the simple question from the Minister on what he thinks currently motivates entrepreneurs and future entrepreneurs in starting companies in Finland as opposed to Estonia for example? Also, from another point of view - what motivates venture capitalists to invest in Finland?
When the government is able to put across enough points on the table that motivate the growth and development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, I'm a happy man - not going to hold my breath though.
on asking questions
Mon, 2009-12-14 17:51 – taneliAntti: great point. Usually they tend to limit guest-freedom in this area quite a lot: it's not typical to allow guests to ask questions from each other, because of their extremely limited time frame (7minutes or so). Would be different case altogether if the program format would be an open discussion talk show with more time. Let's see what can be done..

Fri, 2010-02-12 08:26 — nelli (not verified)Sounds like an interesting project you are talking about in the latter video... ;)!! Happy to hear you are making some progress! I find the whole idea and concept facinating.
Good luck and tsemppiä with all that!
