COMPETENCE CENTRES<br />
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT<br />
The general objective of the Competence Centre Programme run by Enterprise <strong>Estonia</strong> is to<br />
improve the competitiveness of enterprises through strategic cooperation of science and<br />
industry sectors in <strong>Estonia</strong>. Competence centres are small R&D organisations jointly established<br />
and operated by a number of companies and universities. The main characteristic of<br />
such centres is a strong focus on applied research, which is needed for the product development<br />
of the founders of these centres.<br />
As of spring 2007 there are five competence centres: Electronics, Information and Communication<br />
Technologies; Food and Fermentation Technologies; Healthy Dairy Products; Nanotechnologies;<br />
and Cancer Research.<br />
