Since 2016, we have helped businesses in Estonia and beyond through various acceleration and incubation programmes. Hundreds of entrepreneurs have gotten access to both financial and non-financial forms of support which enabled them to gain momentum. Through our projects, we continue to build the ecosystem and support its members, as well as collaborate with other clean economy builders internationally.
"Green Bridges" aims to grow collaboration between the Estonian and Kenyan digital-cleantech startup ecosystems to tackle pressing environmental challenges and promote sustainable development. By leveraging Estonia's expertise in digital innovation and Kenya's strengths in climate response, particularly in renewable energy, waste management, and agribusiness, this collaboration aims to exchange knowledge, technology, and resources to accelerate the adoption of climate technologies in both regions.
The project is supported by the Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV).
The “Triple Bottom Line Baltic Impact Accelerator” (Baltic Impact Accelerator) tackles the challenges of new growth companies in the Central Baltic region by utilizing the Triple Bottom Line (3BL) methodology that enables more growth (Profit) with specific consideration towards the environment (Planet) and society (People). Over 36 months, the project will implement an accelerator programme to help companies establish a presence outside home markets, raise investments for accelerated growth and nurture consortiums and partnerships among companies. Within the three acceleration cohorts, 96 scale-up companies will be supported (32 per cohort).
The total project budget includes an Interreg Central Baltic Programme contribution, which is allocated among the five project partners. The programme in Estonia is supported by Luminor.
