Selirand said that he is glad that the investment was made to an area outside of Tallinn and that in order to prepare for it, good cooperation with Pärnu’s institutions of vocational education was established.
According to Selirand many of Estonia’s advantages are to do with our image as an ICT pioneer, the small size and flexibility of the country – plus the stability of our legal environment.
