Kite Flight 2025
We are pleased to announce that Estonia’s most influential economic conference, "Kite Flight," organized by the Estonian Employers' Confederation, will take place on March 5, 2025, at Noblessner Foundry.
Conference Theme: How Do We Achieve Success in a Changing World?

This conference will explore solutions to reignite economic growth, strengthen Estonia’s global competitiveness, and enhance its attractiveness to foreign investors.
Key Discussion Topics:
- How long will Estonia’s economic downturn last, what are the consequences, and how can we return to growth?
- Estonia is no longer a low-cost production country—what’s the next stage of development, and how do we get there?
- How can we turn Estonia’s world-class scientific research into successful business ventures?
- How can we solve the workforce shortage crisis?
- What role does government economic policy play in fostering a competitive business environment?
- How do we rebuild trust and confidence in the economy?
