The goal of CyberTech, which was opened in 2017, was to strengthen the local CyberTech startup ecosystem, grow the number of new CyberTech startups, and support the development of existing startups in the sector.
Cybersecurity has been among Estonian national priority areas; therefore, enhancing our CyberTech startups’ growth has been essential. CyberTech startups develop technologies, processes, and practices that are designed to protect networks, computers, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access.

Starting in 2019, Startup Estonia placed more focus on education. It was important to offer opportunities to engage in innovation already in general education in order to promote the mindset of start-up entrepreneurship, which is why the focus of educational technology was initiated. The main objective was to create a program that supports the emergence of new EdTech companies and thereby creates access to education for every learner.

From 2022, EdTech Estonia will be responsible for the development of the education ecosystem.
