| Abstract | The case of the Greater Helsinki Region (GHR) exemplifies the complexity of the events and interactions that cross economic, social and political spheres and lead to the emergence and sustainability of an ICT cluster. This cluster is both the result and major driver of the internationally known Finnish Information Society (Box 6.1). Its very nature and the challenges it faces can be better appreciated from a comparative perspective. Thus, the focus of this chapter is neither on the Finnish ICT cluster nor the GHR ICT cluster per se. Rather, the emphasis is on assessing the relevance of development of selected ICT centres (Portland, Oregon; Dublin, Ireland;and Tel Aviv, Israel) for the GHR ICT cluster (see Annex 1). Despite the unique formation and evolution of each of these cases, the comparison provides further insight to the peculiar environment and drivers found in high-tech clusters. Likewise, this analysis highlights both challenges and threats faced by ICT-intensive areas providing lessons from which the Finnish ICT cluster could benefit (see Annex 1). Three principal aspects will be addressed in this chapter. The first part is contextual and historical. It sets a framework for the analysis of the factors related to the emergence of ICT clusters and compares the different development paths found in Portland, Dublin and Tel Aviv with the experience in Helsinki. The second part is strategic. It identifies current challenges and threats faced by the Helsinki ICT cluster vis-à-vis the experiences of the comparison regions. In the final part, policy recommendations will be proposed to ensure the competitiveness of the Helsinki ICT cluster in light of the three comparison regions’ experiences, as well as international developments in the ICT clusters more generally.... |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
