Eesti majanduse päästevariant

-
Kõigepealt mõned huvitavad faktid:
Eelmisel aastal tuli Eestisse keskmiselt 3 miljardit krooni kuus laenuraha. Kui arvestada, et Eestis on ümmarguselt pool miljonit töötavat inimest kelle keskmine palk oli eelmisel aastal kuskil 10-13 000 kr, siis tähendab see seda, et iga kuu võeti umbes poole palgafondi jagu laenu.
Sellel aastal on laenamise tempo langenud 1-le miljardile kuus. Kokku oleme eluaseme ja tarbimislaenude tõttu võlgu umbes 110 miljardit krooni.

Aga see ainult taustaks. Parem pakun välja mõtte, et kuidas edasi.
On väga ebatõenäoline, et me suudaksime Eestisse lähimatel aastatel luua väga suuri teadus ja arenduskeskuseid. Meil ei ole selleks ei organisatsioone ega ka inimesi. Seega võiksime võtta enda suunaks teistes riikides olevates teaduskeskustes ja firmades väljatöötatud toodete, metoodikate, avastuste ja tehniliste lahenduste paindliku implementeerimise. Ehk mitte Sony vaid Panasonicu strateegia. (Teatavasti Panasonic on enda strateegiaks võtnud mitte olla esimene turul, aga tulla teisena ja teha hästi.) Kasutame ära enda väiksuse, paindlikkuse, avatud mõttemaailma.

Aga ka kopeerimine ei ole väga kerge ja selleks peab:
- Oskama keeli.
- Lugema välismaiste teadusasutuste ja ettevõtete saavutustest, ideedest ja tehnoloogiatest.
- Suhtlema.
- Katsetama julgelt uusi tehnoloogiaid.
Ka kopeerijaid.... isegi riikide tasemel on maailmas palju. Näiteks Lõuna-Korea, Hiina jpt. Nii, et lihtne ei ole, aga vähemalt kõvale keskmisele tasemele kopeerimisega ikka pääseb ning kindlasti on tulemus parem kui mitte ise avastades ja ka mitte teistelt teadmisi üle võttes.

Alusta näiteks sellest, et loe, mida Soome VTT-s uuritakse ja avastatakse (www.vtt.fi).

    Ega kõik see raha ei läinud eraisikutele.
    Laenavad ka firmad ja avalik sektor ja nende laenuvõime on oluliselt suurem kui eraisikutel.

    Suures osas see raha jõudis ja jõuab ikkagi eraisikuteni - teede ehitajatele, majade ehitajatele, ehitusmaterjalide tootjatele. Majanduslikult nõmedamad muidugi on juhtumid kus ta suures osas eestlaste palkadesse ei jõua... autode ostmise puhul näiteks.

Misconceptions regarding electric cars

EU's Fit for 55 plan includes quite ambitious emissions reduction targets for the car industry and this has initiated a big discussion in the industry and among thought-leaders. I would like to point out two topics where our thinking tends to go wrong and where looking at the wider picture makes sense Let's think wider than just switching the power source from internal combustion to battery-electric. Here is a photo of one of the first cars made. It is a 1896 Arnold Benz, whose driver Walter Arnold received the worlds first speeding ticket for driving 13km/h with it. As you can see the car looks like a horse carriage minus the horse. It was only a few decades later that cars were considered to be cars and not horse carriages with engines and could therefore be designed differently. At present day we have a similar problem and are stuck in the thinking that an electric vehicle must be a car where everything must be otherwise the same only the engine to be a battery powered elect

2022 - The year of breakthrough of hybrid and remote work. The massive impact this will bring

(Neither ChatGPT, nor any other AI was used to write this article. Photos by me. But the illustrations were created by Midjourney AI. You can find the Midjourney command in Italic at the footer of each illustration.)  In this post I will cover two topics. Firstly, the hybrid and remote work practices and its challenges. Secondly, some thoughts on the huge impact the hybrid/remote work will bring about small-townization. Part 1 - Where we are with hybrid and remote work? A few weeks ago there was a fire drill in the office building of Solita Tallinn. The alarm went on and everybody in the building (the one on the photo) had to evacuate to the street. While waiting on the street for the drill to end we did a small calculation. We calculated that there should be about 800-1000 workplaces in the whole building. However, the "evacuated" crowd was only 150-200 persons strong. So roughly 10-30% of the workplaces in our office building are used. This matches the numbers we are seein

How to move to Estonia Guide (for ICT consultants, specialists....but for others also)

-
The information in this post and the links were updated on 18th of July 2014. In my opinion Estonia is a good place for IT specialists to find a job and work in! Especially in the situation when the (youth) unemployment is rising and in many European countries there is no sign of it easing.  I promoted the idea to the Estonian IT companies in one of my recent posts . With this post I want to give my contribution to the exchange of talent inside EU. I hope this helps at least a few people.  This post is definitely not an official guide, but more of a friendly advice. If you have any questions regarding moving or any important information that could help others then please comment this post!  This post focuses on moving to Tallinn. Tartu, as the second biggest town in Estonia, is also an alternative with Playtech and Webmedia as the biggest IT sector employers there. The first thing you need is a job .  If you are an IT specialist with a university degree there is a good chance
