The Estonian Enterprise and Innovation Foundation, with EU support, is allocating nearly one million euros to seven creative industry projects to boost their international expansion and exports.
The Estonian Enterprise and Innovation Foundation, backed by the European Union, will fund seven creative industry projects with almost one million euros. The funds aim to help Estonian companies increase exports, find new international partners, and strengthen their positions in foreign markets, ERR reported on Thursday.
The selected projects represent various creative sectors, including music, film, art, architecture, design, marketing, and woodworking. According to Kadi Haljand, head of the foundation's creative industries unit, interest in the program was extremely high. A total of 18 applications were submitted, requesting over 2.5 million euros, while the round's budget was around one million euros. "Competition was tough," Haljand noted.
