Russia's science and technology diaspora
is too visible and successful to evade attention from home.
However, the public debate in Russia so far has been focused
almost exclusively on return migration and on science
diaspora, rather than on successful techno-entrepreneurs.
The primary objective of the current Chapter is to help to
refocus the debate on brain circulation facilitation of
business links between high-tech entrepreneurs in diaspora
and in home, and for this reason to understand better the
current demand in Diaspora for stronger contacts of this
kind, as well as identify the existing barriers that hamper
such cross-border business contacts. Another objective of
our analysis is to identify a number of success stories and
key people behind such successes -- so-called
overachievers in the diaspora (successful individuals in
the position to share their professional success with the
business community in the home country). These people may
become a core of future diaspora networks that could be
instrumental in upgrading the nature of Russia-diaspora
cooperation. As experience of other countries suggests, such
networks have a potential for supporting various Russia s
initiatives in the area of innovation policy, including
promotion of early stage venture capital, innovation
start-ups and spin-offs. |
