The Estonian Business School has created a new 30 Under 30 award to recognize outstanding young leaders under 30 years of age. This year we will be awarding it to innovators who are working in the digital innovation and/or green transformation fields in Estonia. The winners will be selected by a jury of experts who include: Dr. Kerli Kant Hvass, EBS’ circular economy lead, Martin Kruus, co-founder of Four Energy AS, Tiit Paananen, VP of Engineering at Veriff, Professor Meelis Kitsing, EBS rector, and Dr. Anna Ebers Broughel, energy economist at Tetra Tech.

The Estonian Business School (EBS) opened a campus in Helsinki in 2011, encouraged by the knowledge that interest in the school was steadily growing among Finns. That said, it was a step we took with certain reservations: not only had very few foreign colleges or universities truly established themselves in Finland, but many well-known Estonian companies had failed to make a go of it on the Finnish market as well. We were also in awe of the country’s education system and its quality – especially that of higher education, which is recognised worldwide. But in celebrating 10 years of EBS in Helsinki, we can take pride in the success we have achieved and set ourselves new goals for the decade to come.

The Estonian Business School, one of the founding members of Green Tiger, hired Kerli Kant Hvass as a Circular Economy Lead in January. Her goal in this position is to develop training seminars for companies on the circular and green economy, to think along on the development of EBS’s green and circular economy strategies, advise on the development process of applied doctoral studies, and to create a vision and concept for creating a circular economy competence center.

Estonian Business School is excited to announce its first International Summer School that will take place in Tallinn and Helsinki on 9-19 August 2021.
