Why Estonia?
Estonia is one of the smallest, but at the same time the most dynamic economies in the EU, known for its high level of digitalization and close ties with the Baltic and Scandinavian countries. It has a developed business support infrastructure, and local companies are successfully scaling innovative products to international markets. The most promising areas of cooperation for Zaporizhzhia enterprises are digital technologies, logistics, distribution, and production.
