How the Estonian State Supports Startups

​There’s actually a lot the Estonian state is doing to support startups — but many founders still don’t fully know what kind of help is out there.

​This event will give a broad overview of the different support measures, funding opportunities, and other ways the Estonian state can support startups.

​It will also be a chance for founders to share their thoughts directly with public sector representatives, who are very interested in hearing what more could be done.
