Welcome to autumn business season!
While Estonia was "suffering" from the heat wave and none could complain about the normally bad Estonian skiing weather, then some people were still working hard - a Danish-owned export marketing company Branding Estonia opened up its doors with the office and show room at the airport and makes a good offer for DECC members to use their facilities, Danish Embassy has announced changes about close-down of their commercial department.
There're also interesting events coming up that enable to network and gain valuable information. Read more below.
Sincerely
