Estonia's competetive advantages

Estonia has been investing for years in new ports and renovating railways to ensure better connection between the East and the West. But above all, Estonia stands for a European business environment, stable and low taxes and a very low level of corruption. Estonia serves as a gateway to marketplaces with the greatest purchasing power - the European Union and Russia / CIS / Central Asia.

The unique geopolitical location between northern countries and eastern markets in combination with an excellent transport infrastructure give Estonia the opportunity to provide access to a consumer market of 300 million consumers, including Russia’s 142 million inhabitants.

• Upon forwarding the goods through Estonia, all the applicable European Union safety standards and requirements are enforced.
