The Estonian government is developing a new digital export portal that will make it easier for businesses to expand into foreign markets and find export opportunities. The new platform will bring together key data and contacts in one place, making the export process faster and more efficient for companies.
Goal to Double Exports According to Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, the goal is to "double Estonia's exports over the next ten years." He emphasized that the more Estonian businesses sell their products and services in different countries, the better it is for the nation and society as a whole. "Therefore, we need to make the state support system for businesses more efficient through digital solutions and do everything we can to maintain long-term economic growth," said Tsahkna.
The export portal is part of a broader national strategy focused on supporting entrepreneurship and increasing exports. The portal will provide businesses with consolidated access to market information, networks, and export opportunities while reducing bureaucratic burdens.
A Valuable Tool for Businesses Sigrid Harjo, a board member of the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency (EIS), stated that "this is an important step in increasing the international competitiveness of our companies." According to her, the export portal will allow businesses to find necessary contacts and market information more quickly and conveniently.
The Director General of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mait Palts, also highlighted the portal’s practical benefits: "It will help reduce bureaucracy and simplify the process for businesses to enter foreign markets."
A Digital Solution to Support Economic Growth The development of the new export portal is part of a broader digitalization effort that will help businesses operate more efficiently. While the exact launch date is not yet known, developers are confident that it will become an essential support tool for Estonian exporters.
In the future, the portal’s functionality will be continuously improved to better meet the needs of businesses and contribute to Estonia’s export growth.
