Entrepreneurship Award

The tradition of the oldest entrepreneurship competition in Estonia continues – for the 30th time, we were honouring outstanding Estonian companies whose achievements are recognised with the highest national award!

We acknowledge and honour innovative and forward-thinking Estonian businesses whose determination and dedication have contributed to the success of their companies, employees, and our country.

 

The title of Company of the Year was awarded to the engineering and manufacturing company Tech Group, which develops and produces complex and expensive production lines that are sold directly to European automotive, chip, and photonics industrie.

 

We will open again the competition in May 2026.

Benefits of Participating

Participating in the competition gives companies the opportunity to showcase their achievements and increase their visibility.

Achieving top rankings in the competition has helped companies acknowledge their employees, build credibility with (international) partners, strengthen business relationships, enhance their employer brand, and gain positive media coverage.

 

Being among the TOP 3 in a category comes with a broader marketing and media campaign. Companies will also receive marketing materials in Estonian and English, which they can use to highlight their success and build trust among partners and clients.

 

Applicants are evaluated in different stages by juries, while category managers provide feedback on the company’s strengths and suggest areas for further improvement. If Enterprise Estonia offers grants or services that could support the company’s development, relevant recommendations will also be provided.
