The Estonian startup ecosystem is making history!
23.01.2020  Yesterday was history! Fantastic evening at the very first Estonian Startup Award Ceremony with the "creme-de-la-creme" of the Estonian startup mafia. The data is clear: Estonians now master the art of the favorable startup ecosystem: More companies are created. More companies than statistically expected are reaching profitability earlier. But, as Martin Villig and Gerry Kodres put it, next is to see what long-term sustainability is to come and how well can many companies pass the "real" market test. This is perhaps where Horizon Development Market Sniper's proposition to entrepreneurs deserved attention. Horizon Development Market has been bringing its humble contribution to that fantastic ecosystem for over 10 years and will continue to do so: Market Sniper has proven to be a very effective accelerator to early & safe foreign market client acquisition. Market Sniper has been particularly successful for bootstrapped innovative young companies or for big ones that are "shy" to unleash their market potential abroad. It gives bigger companies the opportunity to get started on a market without taking the risk of major investments in time and resource. For young companies, especially the ones seeking financing from the VC ecosystem or from banks, it permits them to enter a market, prove that the product can past the test, while deferring cost into a period of time where the cash flow position of the company is in better condition. Big thumbs up to the Startup Estonia (Maarika Truu) team and to Lift99 (Ragnar Sass) for the initiative, the coordination, the fun hosting and a most memorable evening! Elagu Eesti!!

Flying Whales: Reaching new hights in heavy logistic transport
 Flying Whales is the French manufactuer of the LCA60T, the next big player in heavy load logsitic transportation allowing trasnportation of large and heavy loads in areas with no or poor road infrastructure and with applications in the energy, forestry, humanitarian aid, military, civil engineering and construction industries. Flying Whales’ airship concept is 150 meters long and has a load capacity of 60 tons. Like the zeppelins of the past, it has a rigid inner frame. Lift is generated using helium. Helium is a safe gas that, unlike the hydrogen of the infamous Hindenburg, does not pose an explosion hazard. With speeds of up to 100 km/h, much lower energy requirements, and 1/20th of the operating costs of comparable cargo helicopters, the French airship is a genuine alternative. The graphene-based ultracapacitors (electrochemical energy storage) can be charged and discharged faster than normal batteries. Some press coverage about Flying Whales LCA60T. More has been provided on Horizon's social media pages. <iframe src="https://www.bloomberg.com/multimedia/api/embed/iframe?id=6b984c91-4ad1-48c1-802b-fa4e6fa4e42a" allowscriptaccess="always" frameborder="0"></iframe> |

Horizon Development at the "14 Juillet" at the French Embassy in Tallinn
 On the occasion of the French national day, the "14 Juillet" (July 14th), Horizon Development is one of the sponsors of the French Embassy party (funds for celebrations were cut in 2011 by the French government) to be held in the garden of the French Embassy on Toom-Kooli in Tallinn this year. Horizon Development will have a stand there to answer your questions about our past projects, our plans for the future and our various area of expertise. This will also be the opportunity for Horizon Development Invest to unveil its new corporate finance & tax advisory service to foreign companies that would like to take full advantage of the 0% corporate income tax in Estonia. We hope to meet many people there. |
