Simulaatiossa huomioidaan vaihtoehtoisia kehityspolkuja, joiden avulla on arvioitu erilaisten liiketoimintamallien toimialakohtainen kasvuvaikutus. Koska simulaation lähtökohtana ovat yhtiöiden vuonna 2004 ilmaisemat kehityskelpoiset hankkeet, laskee projektien lukumäärä simulaation myöhemmässä vaiheessa verraten pieneksi ja markkina-arvon kehitys riippuu täysin siitä, mitkä yksittäiset projektit pääsevät eteenpäin.

The paper reports an empirical study on the non-financial value-added provided by Venture Capital investors to their investee firms. This study will use a four-class grouping of the various non-financial value-adding capabilities provided by VC firms, namely, scouting, monitoring, signalling and value-adding services. The study examines biotechnology industry in Finland. Finland has a dual system

This study focuses on the non-financial value-added of venture capital investors (VCs) as perceived by the CEOs of Finnish biotechnology companies. It pays attention to differences in the value-added between informal venture capitalists, private sector venture capitalists and public sector venture capital organizations. In addition, this study pays attention to value-adding mechanisms which venture capitalists

Production and employment have grown faster in the Helsinki Region and in the Province of Uusimaa compared to growth rates for Finland as a whole. At the same time, the extent of specialisation has diminished. The production structure of this region is now much more similar to that of the overall Finnish economy than it
