Estonian Logistics Cluster

The cluster was formed in the summer of 2010 and Enterprise Estonia decided to provide  EUR 0,8 million of support for development of the cluster. The objective is to market the potential of the Estonian logistics sector on various target markets and to increase export turnover, which will be preceded by the development of products and services with high export potential, the creation of a central information channel, the shaping of a standard visual identity and the development of content and communications. The programme is funded by the European Fund for Regional Development.
