The past decade has seen Estonia skyrocket onto the international entrepreneurial scene with a number of successful and fascinating start-ups. As of 2020, the governmental association Startup Estonia lists over 1100 registered start-up companies in the country. Among them, one can find acclaimed tech firms such as Bolt, Transferwise, and Pipedrive, but also numerous smaller players with compelling ideas \u2013 from e-service providers for farmers and teachers to state endorsed security and military innovators.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How, then, has it happened that such a small country seems to be producing so many fine entrepreneurs? The answer lies in two factors: education and legislation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Estonian education system is among the finest in the world, and emphasises entrepreneurial thinking and the benefits of technological literacy to kids from a young age. At the same time, state legislation to start and run a company is straightforward and simple, encouraging everyone with a great idea to try it out in the real world, while in many other countries, a lack of funding or perplexing bureaucracy may hold people back.<\/span><\/p>\n

All this has helped Estonia become the country with the highest number of \u201cunicorns\u201d \u2013 companies valued at above $1 billion \u2013 per capita. At just 1.3 million people, we have 5 of them \u2013 Bolt, Transferwise, Skype, Playtech, and just recently, Pipedrive. These companies, with their diverse products and industries, serve as examples of the possibilities Estonia provides for business.
\n<\/span>However, while the Startup Estonia database lists 60 companies operating in the Transportation & Logistics sector, only one of them works for the car workshop industry. This company, of course, is Trumpauto.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our service exists to help car workshops reap the many benefits of a country that has built itself around enterprise. Rooted in the business-minded, innovative, and ambitious ethos of Estonian start-up culture, our software is the only one of its kind in the region. Trumpauto was built by Estonians with years of experience in the start-up world and we firmly believe in the principles that define it \u2013 strong work ethic, emphasis on efficiency, finding and providing solutions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
