President Ilves: the innovation year stirred some thoughts

17.12.2009

“Throughout this year, everyone in Estonia has seen and heard more then ever before about innovation in Estonia, its character, and some of the best examples,” said President Toomas Hendrik Ilves today in Tallinn, at an event to close the Year of Innovation.

According to the head of state, the results of the Year of Innovation serve as the reflection of the desire of the people of Estonia to think of innovations and to get them implemented, to share good ideas, and to listen to others.

“Therefore, it feels organically wrong to speak about closing the year of innovation. The campaign, which lasted for twelve months, was only a beginning, the first step,” mentioned President Ilves.
