Financing companies - start-ups

We offer start-ups support in developing knowledge, contacts and funding.

KredEx runs the Startup Estonia programme aimed at writing more success stories for Estonian start-ups.

Startup Estonia develops the local start-up ecosystem and creates development programmes. Their goal is to develop knowledge and skills among start-ups, improve the financing situation and eliminate legal bottlenecks.

Start-ups can draw on funds of funds (FOFs) in which KredEx has a holding.
