The Estonian government has launched a large-scale investment support measure to enhance companies' competitiveness, export capacity, and added value growth. The support is available for businesses planning a capital investment of at least €100 million, creating at least 30 new jobs as a result.

The application period for the support started on March 10, 2025, at 12:00 PM and will run until August 11, 2025, at 4:00 PM. The deadline for submitting documents required for pre-consultation is July 11, 2025. The total budget for the measure over four years is €160 million, with support covering 10% of the project cost in Harju County and 15% in other regions, or a maximum of €20 million per project.

Alan Adojaan, CEO of Easy.ee, has commented: "This is a new measure specifically designed for large enterprises to acquire tangible and intangible assets and construct buildings, providing a significant boost for business growth."

The primary goal of the support is to attract large-scale investments to Estonia by offering a flexible and quickly applicable measure, similar to those available in other countries. Given the current geopolitical situation, it is crucial to make additional efforts to position Estonia as an attractive destination for investors.

The support is available to businesses registered in the Estonian Business Register, where the public sector’s ownership does not exceed 49%. Eligible expenses must total at least €100 million, and the investment must improve the applicant’s competitiveness, export capability, and added value.

To apply for the support, companies must submit an application to the Enterprise and Innovation Foundation (EIS) and undergo a pre-consultation process. It is essential to ensure the accuracy of the submitted data and to provide all required documents on time. The maximum support amount is €20 million, and businesses must cover at least 85% of the project cost with their own financing.

According to EIS, the large-scale investment support measure is a crucial step in developing Estonia’s economy, allowing businesses to make significant investments and create new jobs. This initiative also strengthens Estonia’s position internationally as an attractive destination for major investors.

Businesses interested in applying for the support should review the conditions on the EIS website and contact EIS specialists for additional information and guidance. It is essential to start preparations early to ensure a successful application and maximize the chances of receiving support.

In conclusion, the large-scale investment support provides companies with a unique opportunity to make substantial investments that boost their competitiveness, enhance export capabilities, and create new jobs, ultimately contributing to the overall economic development of Estonia.
