Estonia, as a digital nation, is a frontrunner in the world regarding ICT solutions. Tartu, with our talented minds and ambitious entrepreneurs, offers all the benefits of e-Estonia and Smart City Tartu. The rapidly growing ICT ecosystem has attracted the attention of venture capitalists, as well as foreign ICT companies.
Our ICT and electronics sector is characterized by a few leading companies like Playtech, Mobi Lab, Nortal, Mooncascade, Fortumo and many eager startups. The ICT-favourable environment has allowed huge companies like Skype, Bolt and Pipedrive to open their development centres here.
