Edullinen lasten päivähoito, julkin

Edullinen lasten päivähoito, julkinen terveydenhuolto ja koulut ovat Suomelle tärkeä kilpailuvaltti, sanoo peliyhtiö Reforged Studiosin perustaja Teemu Vilen.

Ne painavat vaakakupissa siinä, minne yritys kannattaa perustaa ja miksi huippuosaajat muuttaisivat työn perässä Suomeen. Kun puhutaan Suomen kilpailukyvystä, hyvinvointivaltio ei olekaan vain kustannus.

Vilen on tehnyt uraa isoissa peliyhtiöissä ulkomailla vuodesta 2007 lähtien, viimeksi isossa Riot Games -peliyhtiössä Kaliforniassa. Nyt hän ja kolme muuta pelialan konkaria ovat perustaneet uuden yhtiön ja palanneet Suomeen. Perustajat ovat työskennelleet sellaisten tunnettujen pelibrändien parissa kuin World of Warcraft, Battlefield, Need for Speed, League of Legends ja Warhammer.

”Mietimme monta kuukautta minne perustaisimme firman ja vertailimme Suomea, Yhdysvaltoja, Britanniaa ja Kanadaa. Itselläni ei ollut erityistä motivaatiota palata Suomeen”, Vilen kertoo.

Lopulta kuitenkin Suomi voitti. Reforged Studiosissa työskentelee perustajien lisäksi jo kaksi työntekijää, ja yhtiö kehittää ensimmäistä peliään siemenrahoituksen turvin.

”Tietysti asiaan vaikutti Suomen todella kova maine pelialan uutena mekkana, sekä Tekesistä mahdollisesti saatava rahoitus. Mutta muuallakin on veroetuuksia”, Vilen huomauttaa.

Eniten paluupäätökseen vaikutti kuitenkin suomalainen hyvinvointivaltio ja sen yrittäjälle ja työntekijöille muodostama turvaverkko.

Perheelliset huippuosaajat Suomeen töihin
Yhdysvalloissa, etenkin Kaliforniassa ja muissa teknologiakeskuksissa, elämisessä on järkyttävästi piilokustannuksia, Vilen huomauttaa.

”Täällä Kaliforniassa jo kahden lapsen päivähoito maksaa yli 2 000 dollaria kuussa. Palkat ovat kovemmat, mutta ne hupenevat elämisen kustannuksiin kuten terveydenhuoltoon, asuntoon, eläkesäästämiseen ja lasten college-rahastoihin. Siihen verrattuna Suomen verot eivät paljoa paina.”

Samalla isot palkat tarkoittavat yrittäjälle korkeita kustannuksia. Vilenin mukaan yhden kokeneen kalifornialaisen pelikehittäjän hinnalla saa Suomesta kokonaisen tiimin. Suomessa pelien tekeminen on siis paljon halvempaa - eli Suomi voittaa kilpailukykyvertailussa pienemmillä työvoimakustanuksilla.

Vilen uskoo, että Suomen hyvinvointivaltio edullisine päiväkoteineen ja kouluineen voi houkutella maahan osaavaa työvoimaa - erityisesti perheellisiä.

”Perheen hankkimisen kustannukset ovat Yhdysvalloissa valtavat ja lasten saamisesta rangaistaan ankarasti. Suomessa on helpompaa elää”, Vilen arvioi.

Tällä viikolla esimerkiksi New York Times kirjoitti siitä, miten perhevihamielinen kulttuuri erityisesti Piilaakson teknologiayhtiöissä vallitsee. Vanhemmuus nähdään nuoruutta ja kovaa työntekoa ihannoivassa yrityskulttuurissa taakkana.

Eduskuntavaalien alla Vilen seurasi aluksi huolissaan leikkauksiin keskittynyttä talouspoliittista keskustelua. Turvaverkosta säästäminen heikentäisi hänen mukaansa Suomen kilpailukykyä. Nyt keskustelu on saanut Vilenin mielestä muitakin sävyjä.

”Mitä parempi turvaverkko, sitä helpompi on lähteä yrittäjäksi. Sillä yhteiskunta voi laskea yrittäjyyden riskiä.”

Aiheesta on näyttöjä myös Yhdysvaltojen sisällä, Vilen sanoo viitaten äskettäin julkaistuun The Atlantic-lehden artikkeliin yrittäjyyden ja yhteiskunnan turvaverkkojen välisestä yhteydestä.

Vaikka Reforged Studios aikoo palkata suomalaisia osaajia aina kun mahdollista, myös ulkomaisen työvoiman tuonnin pitäisi olla tarvittaessa nopeaa.

"Työlupien odotusaika pitäisi saada kuukausista päiviin. Työn perässä muuttavat kaipaisivat myös apua byrokratian kanssa", Vilen sanoo.
