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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC COMMUNITYACADEMIC DEGREESACADEMIC INSTITUTIONSAMERICAN UNIVERSITIESBEST PRACTICESBOOKMARKBRAIN DRAINBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS ENTITIESBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS EXPECTATIONSBUSINESS NEEDSBUSINESS OPPORTUNITIESBUSINESS PARTNERSBUSINESS PURPOSESBUSINESS RELATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERSCAPABILITIESCAPITAL CITIESCAREERCAREER DEVELOPMENTCAREER PROSPECTSCAREERSCITIESCITIZENCITIZENSCITIZENSHIPCIVIC ENGAGEMENTCOLLABORATIONCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGECOUNTRY OF ORIGINCULTURAL VALUESCUSTOMSDEGREESDEPENDENCEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDIASPORADIASPORA NETWORKSECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION MINISTEREMPLOYMENTENGINEERSENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLSENTRY POINTENTRY POINTSEXPERT PANELSFEWER PEOPLEFIRST GENERATIONFOREIGN RESEARCHERSFOREIGN STUDENTFOREIGN STUDENTSFUNDAMENTAL RESEARCHFUTURE GROWTHGENDERGENERAL POPULATIONGLOBAL COMPETITIVENESSGLOBAL KNOWLEDGEGLOBAL MARKETPLACEGLOBAL STANDARDSGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT INITIATIVESGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT POLICYGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSHOME COUNTRIESHOST COUNTRYHUMAN CAPITALIMMIGRANTIMMIGRANTSIMMIGRATIONINFORMATION EXCHANGEINFORMATION FLOWSINNOVATIONINNOVATION POLICIESINNOVATION POLICYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTERNATIONAL BUSINESSINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL KNOWLEDGEINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONJOB CREATIONJOB SECURITYJOINT VENTUREJOINT VENTURESKNOWLEDGE NETWORKSLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLABOR MIGRANTSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIMITED ACCESSLITERATUREMANUFACTURINGMARKET COMPETITIONMARKETINGMEDIAMIGRANTMIGRATION FLOWMIGRATION FLOWSMIGRATION POLICYMIGRATION STATISTICSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL IMMIGRATION POLICIESNATURAL RESOURCENETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNEW TECHNOLOGYOLD TRADITIONOUTSOURCINGPAPERSPHYSIOLOGYPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY DEVELOPMENTSPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL CLIMATEPOWERPROCUREMENTPRODUCT DESIGNPROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONSPROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONSPUBLIC ATTENTIONPUBLIC DEBATERECENT IMMIGRANTSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY REGIMERESEARCH COOPERATIONRESEARCH FINDINGSRESEARCH FUNDINGRESEARCH GRANTSRESEARCH INSTITUTESRESEARCH ORGANIZATIONSRESEARCH PARTNERSHIPSRESEARCH PROGRAMSRESEARCHERSRESPECTRESULTRESULTSRETURN MIGRATIONRETURNEESSCHOOLSSCIENTISTSSEARCHSELF-ESTEEMSHORT SUPPLYSILICONSKILLED LABORSKILLED MIGRANTSSKILLED PEOPLESKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL NETWORKSSOCIETYSTATE UNIVERSITIESSTATE UNIVERSITYSTUDENT BODYSTUDENT POPULATIONTEACHINGTECHNICAL UNIVERSITYTECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTTELECOMMUNICATIONSTERTIARY EDUCATIONTRANSACTIONUNDERDEVELOPMENTUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY DEGREEUNIVERSITY GRADUATESUNIVERSITY SCIENCEUNIVERSITY STUDENTSWORK EXPERIENCEWORKERSWORKFORCEYOUNG PEOPLEWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/26795
