Construction sector companies play a key role in #RebuildingUkraine 🇺🇦🏗️
At today’s business seminar organized by @MFAestonia, #ESTDEV’s Chief Operating Officer, Margus Gering, led a panel discussion on the experiences of Estonian construction companies working in Ukraine.
A clear message emerged from the discussion: engaging in Ukraine’s reconstruction was a natural business decision. Entering the Ukrainian market has not been fundamentally different from expanding into any other country. 🌐
As @VBoiechko, Ambassador of Ukraine to Estonia, stated in his opening remarks, the message to Estonian companies is simple – engage now. 🇺🇦🤝🇪🇪

At the Information System Authority’s @e_riik 15th anniversary conference, Andrea Kivi highlighted that Estonia’s experience in digital government is a key part of #ESTDEV’s international development cooperation.
This was demonstrated with clarity in 2025, when ESTDEV brought a record 21.3 million euros in international funding to Estonia for e-governance and cybersecurity projects.
Instead of exporting ready-made models to partner countries, we are supporting them in building secure, inclusive, and sustainable foundations for their own digital states, enabling them to develop and grow their digital infrastructure independently in the future.
Witht this, we build trust, paving the way for new opportunities for partner countries as well as Estonian experts and businesses.
🤩 Exciting new projects coming in Kenya 🇰🇪, Botswana 🇧🇼, Uganda 🇺🇬, and Zambia 🇿🇲, implemented by this year’s grant recipients 🌍
We were happy to host our good partners 🤝 at #ESTDEV’s office and learn more about their plans for new projects for 2026 and through 2027.

🙌 Thank you to everyone involved in bringing these projects to life. We look forward to seeing their impact unfold across Africa in the years ahead! ✨

🇪🇪🤝🇺🇦 Estonian digital and AI solutions are helping strengthen Ukraine’s energy resilience.
A joint #ESTDEV initiative with @hepta_insights , NEURC and @NPCUkrenergo demonstrated how AI-powered infrastructure monitoring can improve inspections, asset management and evidence-based oversight, even under wartime conditions.
The project confirmed the importance of continued Estonian–Ukrainian cooperation and knowledge sharing to build more resilient energy systems and support Ukraine’s EU integration journey.
