BSI_4Women presents: Foreign Founders in Estonia

Thursday 8. May at 09:30 - 11:30

Tehnopol Startup Incubator, 3rd floor, Tallinn

Starting a business in a new country takes courage, clarity, and the right kind of support. Whether you're an early-stage founder, an international entrepreneur navigating Estonia’s startup scene, or part of a team looking to bring in global talent—this event is for you.

The event is part of the BSI_4Women initiative, which empowers refugee women across the Baltic Sea region through entrepreneurship. The program offers tailored support, training, and community to help women launch businesses and build independent lives in new environments.

We’ll kick things off with an introduction to the BSI_4Women project, followed by a keynote from Vaido Mikheim. He will walk us through the Startup Visa program and share what makes Estonia one of the most open and agile startup environments in Europe. Vaido is currently focused on shaping the next chapter in the Estonian startup ecosystem success story as Head of Startup Estonia and always roots for positive people who want to raise the level and the mood of humanity.

You’ll also hear business pitches from refugee women founders who are part of the BSI_4Women program—bold entrepreneurs building their ventures in Estonia and contributing to the local startup landscape.
