Estonia's clever business connectivity doesn't stop at the Baltic Sea! This October, the exciting new business hub hit the bustling streets of Washington D.C., nestled within their embassy. This hub is the first of its kind in the U.S, and it's packed with tools to support Estonian businesses in forming alliances with American counterparts.
But wait, that's not all! This innovative hub provides spaces for business meetings, product showcases, and events, as well as a wealth of info on Estonia's business landscape, e-state solutions, green technologies, and cybersecurity, making Estonia an alluring investment destination.
Ambassador Kristjan Prikk, our esteemed envoy to the U.S, stated, "The close relations between Estonia and the United States are founded on shared values like democracy and freedom. Both nations prioritize innovation, digital development, and economic freedom. I'm convinced that economic ties between our countries will thrive, and this hub is an excellent stepping stone!"
Remember, a quick chat or email might not be enough when entering new markets. So, face-to-face contacts with potential partners and eye-catching presentations of products increase the chances of successful collaborations – and the hub is located right within the Estonian embassy, giving you easy access to friendly embassy support and advice.
The Washington hub's creation was made possible thanks to the NextGenerationEU recovery plan. This business hub is joined by two other international hubs – one in Seoul, Korea, and another in Singapore – and more are on their way! Hubs are scheduled to open in London, Paris, Riga, Berlin, and Copenhagen in the near future.
