Tallinn stimulates entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation
The Tallinn City Council has adopted a new Enterprise and Innovation strategy for the years 2014-2018, with the aim to create better opportunities for the development of enterprise and innovation in Tallinn (Estonia), and in this way, to increase the competitiveness of Tallinn as a city and region.
The strategy focuses on smart specialization in key development sectors with the greatest potential and added value, which are service industries (including creative industries), future technologies and ICT horizontally through other sectors. The strategic action plan includes both simplifying the access to capital, cluster development, cross-sectoral cooperation, promotion of international networking and development and implementation of smart innovative solutions in the city.
The compilation of Tallinn Enterprise and Innovation Strategy was financed by the Interreg IVC programme within the framework of the international Cross-Innovation project.
