The early 1990’s were a turning point not only to the ICT industry but to the Finnish economy as a whole. Up until the depression, the Finnish companies typically adapted more advanced technologies from abroad. In the early 1990s, this catching up process, was largely completed. Thus, instead of catching up the technological frontier, the Finnish manufacturers themselves had to push that frontier forward.
