Tallinn is set to continue its support for international conferences, a initiative started last year, with funding for 28 international conferences, several of which will take place in 2024. The budget for this support measure is 275,000 euros.

At today's session, the Tallinn City Government approved an action plan aimed at businesses, with the goal of providing support to counteract the impact of prolonged construction work.

During today’s meeting, the Tallinn City Government decided to partner with Tallinn University (TLU) and Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) to advance scientific and developmental activities and enhance the internship system and further education. Ongoing agreements are also being renewed with the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA), Tallinn University of Applied Sciences, AS Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences and the Estonian Business School Foundation.

At the beginning of last year, Tallinn launched the Test in Tallinn programme, initiated by Mayor Mihhail Kõlvart, inviting companies to test new technologies in urban spaces and systems. The focus was on tests in urban mobility, renewable energy and energy saving. To date, a total of 37 test project applications have been received, of which 21 have been accepted.

At the end of last year, the results of the fourth round of the Test in Tallinn program, initiated by the city of Tallinn, revealed two new partner companies with which the city decided to proceed and hopes to reach the testing phase.

Tallinn City Government aims to change the procedure for granting the use of municipal assets to simplify the testing of innovation projects within the urban space.
