What does Startup Estonia do?

Startup Estonia is a governmental initiative aimed to supercharge the Estonian startup ecosystem for it to be the birthplace of many more startup success stories in the future. For that, we are working on making Estonia one of the world's best places for startups by focusing on these 4 building blocks:

Strong Ecosystem

Uniting, building and representing the local startup community. Supporting regional development and science-based decision making

Smart People

Promoting diversity and co-organizing impactful startup events with the community

Smart Money

Educating and attracting investors, helping resources and know-how reach startups
