The small Baltic country of Estonia, with a population of slightly more than 1 million, is a place with big ideas and a big footprint in the world of technology.

The nation’s global future in the high-tech arena, gained momentum with the success story of Skype, developed by Estonians, and later acquired by Microsoft MSFT +0.65% in 2011 for $8.5 billion. Skype’s success created a domino effect for other rising Estonian entrepreneurs with the latest and greatest idea for a startup.

Estonian’s government foundation, Enterprise Estonia, established in 2000, became a national support system for entrepreneurship and took the next step forward. Enterprise Estonia’s primary mission is to support the level of well-being in society by supporting objectives such as increasing the number of sustainable and growing companies, export capabilities, and product development and technological capabilities of Estonia.

Along with California, Enterprise Estonia has representatives in Helsinki, Stockholm, London, Hamburg, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Shanghai and Tokyo.
