Estonia launches IST innovation portal
The Estonian National Contact Point (NCP), the Archimedes Foundation, has launched an information society technologies (IST) innovation and research portal. The portal strives to introduce potential foreign partners to research and development (R&D) opportunities in Estonia in the sphere of IST. The founders believe that the many opportunities for cooperation with researchers in the EU's acceding countries are often not appreciated by current Member States. The portal gives an overview of the development of the Estonian information society, presenting facts and figures on information and communications technology (ICT) legislation, financing, and Estonian information policy. It also provides in-depth information on government and private e-initiatives, as well a list of top Estonian ICT and electronics companies, which are categorised according to partner needs and interests.
