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 />
