Why Tallinn

Tallinn is one of Europe’s most digitally advanced and entrepreneur-friendly cities. Estonia’s economy – of which Tallinn is the main engine – is highly digitalized, export-driven, and supported by a transparent regulatory environment and favorable investment policies. Tallinn attracted a record FDI stock by the end of 2024, driven primarily by ICT, science & technology, financial services, and real estate sectors.  

As a Northern European tech hub, Tallinn stands out with world-leading digital governance, a strong startup ecosystem, and advanced IT and fintech capabilities. Key industries include information technology, cybersecurity, fintech, highly automated manufacturing, and wood processing, with services accounting for 64% of national GDP.

Despite global economic headwinds, Estonia’s longterm outlook remains resilient: GDP is projected to return to growth in 2025 (1.1%) and 2026 (2.3%), supported by strong employment and high innovation capacity.
