Issues the programme aimed to address
Green ICT is a business development programme with objective of increased value creation and
sustainable growth in Estonia’s private sector. Programme aimed to stimulate and develop innovation-
led long-term business cooperation between Estonia and Norway. Programme was operated by
Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications and implemented by Estonian Business and
Innovation Agency with a donor programme partner Innovation Norway. Programme had three focus
areas: Green Industry Innovation, ICT, and Welfare Technologies with ICT as a horizontal cross-cutting
component.
Programme was mainly targeted to small and medium sized enterprises and implemented through five
public calls and two pre-defined projects. Grant aimed to increase annual turnover and operating profit
of Estonian companies and create new jobs, thereby contributing to the achievement of the socio-
economic results set within the framework of the programme. Projects in the Green Industry Innovation
focus area also contributed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption.
Programme aligned with national priorities - sustainable economic growth, social cohesion, and
technological advancement. Programme contributed to the general objective of the Estonian Research
and Development, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Strategy 2021-2035: Estonian research,
development, innovation, and entrepreneurship work together to increase the well-being of society and
the productivity of the Estonian economy. Addressing specific focus on business environment that
encourages entrepreneurship and the growth of knowledge-intensive enterprises, priority is given to the
creation and export of higher value-added sustainable, and innovative products and services.
Estonia, as a small and open economy, has long sought to balance economic growth with sustainable
practices, making programme selected focus areas critically important. These challenges were
particularly pertinent given Estonia’s reliance on energy-intensive industries, the pressing need to
diversify its economy, and the demand for digital transformation. By addressing these challenges, the
Green ICT programme played a pivotal role in fostering innovation and sustainability in Estonia.
Programme contribution to overall objectives
Reducing Social and Economic Disparities
Programme has increased the growth of innovation capacity and productivity, also contributed to the
promotion of research and development as well as resource efficiency in Estonia. According to Statistics
Estonia, the share of private sector research and development expenditure in GDP has increased from
0.64% in 2014 to 1.01% by 2022, mainly in the manufacturing and information and communication
2 Version 3.0 as of 28/04/2025 14:06:41 CEST
sectors. Although this shows a positive trend, Estonia still lags the EU average in terms of the volume
of private sector expenditure (Estonia 1.01% in 2022, EU average 1.48%, Eurostat). Nevertheless, these
figures reflect the trend of increase in investments in innovation in 2020–2023. Also, based on European
Innovation Scoreboard, Estonia has moved from a moderate innovator to a strong innovator. Estonia's
innovation performance increased from 98.6% in 2023 to 104.8% of the EU average in 2024, making
Estonia an innovation leader, especially in promoting cooperation between SMEs. Thus, Estonia has
managed to strengthen its innovation system and improve cooperation between businesses and the
public sector and the role of the Green ICT programme in this cannot be underestimated.
The programme outputs not only contributed to the achievement of the programme objectives, but also
supported the wider goals of Estonia's long-term strategy "Estonia 2035", aiming for a strong, innovative
and responsible economy. Programme outputs are wider than the individual results of the supported
projects, having a positive impact on Estonia's social, economic and sustainable development. Strategic
impact of the programme included the integration of innovative solutions across sectors, strengthening
the competitiveness of Estonian companies in all focus areas. In addition, the programme has raised
awareness of the use of climate neutral technologies and promoted cooperation between partner
organizations. Support under the Green ICT programme has enabled Estonian companies to apply and
develop new products, services and processes, also to strengthen the companies’ market position and
therefore create prerequisites for sustainable business models and long-term strategic developments.
Strengthening Bilateral Cooperation
Bilateral dimension of the programme was definitely one of its key strengths. Collaboration between
Estonian and Norwegian partners was instrumental in fostering knowledge transfer and building
enduring relationships. With 19 donor partnership projects, programme contributed to strengthening of
bilateral cooperation through new and continuous partnerships. Collaboration projects created new
knowledge and the conditions for ongoing cooperations through knowledge sharing, which is expected
to form into a strong long-term business partnerships and open new opportunities in the future. Projects
that included Estonian and Norwegian research institutions and universities set a solid foundation for a
scientific base development, which includes high-level publications and data validation activities,
especially in the Welfare Technology focus area. Norwegian partners provided critical insights, enriching
Estonian capabilities, fostering an exchange of best practices, and building long-term cooperation.
The bilateral cooperation had a broader social and cultural impact between Estonia and Norway. This
aspect of the programme laid a foundation for continued collaboration, underscoring the long-term value
of such international partnerships.
Sustainability
The sustainability of the “Green ICT” programme’s outcomes is a critical consideration. Supported
projects demonstrated strong potential for enduring impact, particularly in areas such as resource
efficiency, energy savings, and the adoption of innovative technologies. For instance, reductions in CO2
emissions and the implementation of resource-efficient processes created resource-saving
opportunities for enterprises while aligning with broader market trends. The awareness of such new
solutions has increased, as shown by the growing interest towards new developments, such as
consumption and CO2 footprint monitoring functions.
However, ensuring long-term sustainability requires addressing challenges such as the financial
capacity of SMEs to scale their projects and external disruptions, including supply chain issues
exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. A continued focus on strategic support, capacity-building, and
fostering market readiness will be essential to maintaining the programme’s positive impacts. One of its
key factors is continuation of established partnerships and joint developments, that has had a good
impact on overall results as well as potential for the future. Many cooperations initiated within the
framework of the Green ICT programme will continue, and the next steps are planned for further
developments.
3 Version 3.0 as of 28/04/2025 14:06:41 CEST
Given the global trends, development of green technologies is inevitable in future economic
environment. In Estonia, it is important to continue with greening the industry by developing new, less
environmentally burdensome sectors, while maintaining the focus on sustainable development and
resource-efficient innovation in conjunction with the digitalization of the private sector. Positive impact
can be further fostered with support for innovation and green solutions, involving more regions and
developing innovative procurement and local cooperation processes.
Outcome 1: Increased competitiveness of Estonian companies within focus
areas Green Industry Innovation, ICT and Welfare Technology
Amount incurred: € 20,333,965.70
Results
The programme achieved significant outcomes, contributing to sustainable growth in Estonia’s private
sector. A total of 56 new products, services or processes were developed, exceeding the target (25) by
more than twice. Projects under the Green Industry Innovation focus area distinguished in achieving this
goal, contributing with 24 new solutions. These developments included solutions to improve the
efficiency of the industrial production software (EE-INNOVATION-0053), but also smart transportation
or logistics optimization solutions (EE-INNOVATION-0056, EE-INNOVATION-0057, EE-INNOVATION-
0058), and platforms enabling energy efficiency (EE-INNOVATION-0082, EE-INNOVATION-0084, EE-
INNOVATION-0085).
The best examples arise from projects where grant has fostered modernization of companies’ internal
processes that further enabled the production of new, innovative products. For example, Roofit Solar
Energy OÜ (projects EE-INNOVATION-0059, EE-INNOVATION-0062, EE-INNOVATION-0096), which
has developed a unique integrated metal roofing material with monocrystalline silicon elements. The
innovative solar roof looks like a traditional steel roof and is as electrically powerful as conventional solar
panels. The company implemented two parallel main call projects, followed by an additional activity with
the development of software for planning electricity-generating roofs, fully automating the production
line and the Roofit.App developments. New products allowed the company to offer both a modular steel
roof that generates electricity, as well as click-fastened roof panels that would fit perfectly with the so-
called Classic profiles. In addition to increased turnover and reduced CO2 emissions, these projects
contributed to the modern architecture in cities and villages with modern, but also sustainable roofing
materials.
Eight out of 56 new products were developed in welfare technology projects. Good examples include
the implementation of polygenic risk score guided breast cancer precision prevention developed by
Antegenes OÜ in consortium with Estonian and donor partners (EE-INNOVATION-0074). Company has
launched the AnteBC test for assessing the genetic risk of breast cancer, which is based on polygenic
risk score technology. AnteBC allows women to distinguish their genetic predisposition to breast cancer
and, based on this, provide more precise recommendations for breast cancer prevention and early
detection. Project comprised of various activities from analyzing the performance of the AnteBC test on
genetic data in Norwegian population to a successfully completed clinical trial in Norwegian healthcare
institutions and the preparation of scientific and regulatory documentation for the implementation of
precision breast cancer prevention.
Among the product developments, programme also enabled Estonian companies to undertake
investments that facilitated the adoption of new sustainable technologies. Altogether, eleven new green
technologies were applied in Estonian companies. For instance, wood industry sector companies
Thermory (EE-INNOVATION-0051) and Standwood (EE-INNOVATION-0083) applied thermo-treatment
technologies to create solutions that allow companies to offer customers more durable product range
with a longer life cycle, such as finger-jointed sauna materials, thermally modified façade cladding and
terrace flooring made of coniferous wood. These technologies allow the production of thermo-treated
4 Version 3.0 as of 28/04/2025 14:06:41 CEST
wood, which is processed durable and weatherproof with special technology using only heat and water.
In terms of properties, thermo-wood is sustainable and chemical-free and therefore a good alternative
to, for example, tropical wood, the use of which creates a significant negative footprint on rainforests,
as well as to cheap wood material impregnated with chemicals or composite materials made of plastic
and wood fibers.
New green technologies were also applied to fully automate production processes, for example by
Chemi-Pharm AS (EE-INNOVATION-0063), Estover Dairy Products OÜ (EE-INNOVATION-0052),
Exmet Services OÜ (EE-INNOVATION-0079), and Estiko Packaging Solutions (EE-INNOVATION-
0077). Regarding the examples mentioned, the latter project has been important in terms of its impact,
as the project modernized its entire production, which allowed the company to develop resource-saving
vacuum bag products. The investments ensured a lower ecological footprint and higher resource
savings across the entire production activities and automated several manual activities in the production
planning software, thereby ensuring both better digitalization of the company. Also, Project Promoter
Estiko was awarded the Sustainability Promoter of the Year award in the national entrepreneurship
competition in 2024 for its outstanding sustainability efforts.
All these examples present excellent migration of business and innovation that laid the foundations for
more sustainable business operations and solutions, and also long-term partnerships.
Green ICT programme also proved significant social and environmental impact. During the
implementation of funded projects, 470 new jobs were created, exceeding the set target (100). On the
environmental scale, the aim was to reduce CO2 emissions by 25,000 tons. As a result, CO2 emissions
were reduced by an estimated 140,981 tons (564% of the target). The reduction was achieved using a
variety of methods and accounting approaches, including reducing energy consumption in production
processes, implementing innovative solutions in the transport and logistics sector, and using renewable
energy. Although several projects are still in the development stage and some objectives have not been
fully achieved, the results achieved in reducing the climate impact can be considered significant.
However, energy consumption reductions varied across projects, but an overall reduction of 8% was
achieved, exceeding the set target (5%).
Challenges and Lessons Learned
Although most of the projects were implemented as planned, there were still difficulties arising from
external factors. For example, the disruption of supply chains due to COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine,
as well as the sharp increase in raw material prices, caused problems and created the need for bigger
flexibility during project implementation. The situation was worsened by the gradual economic recession,
which can be considered one of the biggest factors inhibiting business activity and scaling project
results. The combined effect of these factors resulted with lower use of funds with allocations to other
programmes in Estonia. Aiming for lower risks generated financial barriers in some projects, because
companies were more focused on survival rather than investing in high-risk innovation or did it in a
smaller scale than initially planned. Therefore, in conjunction with the above, not all projects individually
were able to achieve the results set out in the results framework in accordance with the set objectives
although the results were achieved overall across the programme.
Also, despite the positive impact of the grants on employment, it did not yet reflect a direct impact on
companies’ productivity. Since too little time has passed since the completion of projects, it can be stated
that higher productivity is likely to reveal over a longer period in upcoming years.
In some projects, irregularities emerged as Audit Authority identified inconsistencies in procurement
practices of the Project Promoters necessitating better oversight when purchasing goods and services
within the projects. The Audit Authority identified problems, where Project Promoters failed to specify
evaluation criteria or deadlines for submission of tenders, and different deadlines were applied to
tenderers, which resulted in ineligible costs. This led to non-compliance with the requirements of the
“Regulation on the implementation of the Norway Grants 2014-2021”, as the rules set out in the
5 Version 3.0 as of 28/04/2025 14:06:41 CEST
regulation were not fully applied to ensure the full and fair competition and price comparison in non-
public procurement. In addition, there were no clear and unambiguous grounds for making financial
corrections as the control practices became stricter during the implementation of the programme, and
therefore the procurement rules for Project Promoters may have remained somewhat unclear. For
example, while at the beginning of the project implementation, the procurement procedure rules for non-
procurement parties were based on more lenient rules, the practice had become stricter by the time of
the audit.
As a lesson, it is important to improve existing guidelines and measures to improve the prevention of
procurement problems and ensure smoother project implementation. The task includes training, but also
communication to help project parties better understand the requirements of procurement procedures
and avoid common errors. In addition to the above, equally important is that control mechanisms remain
clear and stable during the implementation.
Timing of call for proposals has a crucial importance in terms of successful implementation and
achieving results. Independent evaluator has suggested in the evaluation report that rolling call for
proposals without certain application deadline might be convenient for applicants.
Call for proposals to initiate additional activities worked well and was highlighted by applicants as a good
practice to be used also in future.
Bilateral Outcome: Enhanced collaboration between beneficiary and donor
state entities involved in the programme
Results
Bilateral partnerships were a cornerstone of the Green ICT programme, yielding with joint innovations,
knowledge transfer that enriched Estonian enterprises’ competitiveness and strengthened networks
fostering long-term cooperation and market integration.
Altogether, 19 projects involved a Norwegian partner, which constituted 42% of the program's goal
(target level 45). Although the number of partnership projects was lower than initially expected, the
overall result can be considered good as the established partnerships represent the best practices in
this period. This is reflected in the overall satisfaction with partnerships in Estonia, that was rated for
5.22 on a seven-point scale, which exceeded the target value of 4.5 set by the program by 0.72 points.
All partners in the Green ICT program contributed with not only to the implementation of specific
activities, but also by sharing costs, having their own budget and clear areas of responsibility. Thus, all
parties played an important role and responsibility in achieving and sharing the project results.
It is noteworthy that some partnerships date back to the previous programming period and were
continued in Green ICT program. For instance, in project EE-INNOVATION-0049 Estonian company
Skeleton AS cooperated with Norwegian company NXTech AS. Companies started their cooperation
with the development of ultracapacitors during the Norway Grants period 2009-2014 and formed into
further developments of marine-certified ultracapacitor modules in the current period. Such long-term
partnerships are highly encouraged in the program, as it opens new business opportunities for both
companies in the field of onboard energy storage systems for ship builders and integrators to achieve
significant emission reductions.
Donor partnership projects also included high-level scientific capacity, for example, Estonian company
Antegenes OÜ (EE-INNOVATION-0074) collaborated with Oslo Cancer Cluster SA, Oslo University
Hospital, Cancer Registry of Norway, University of Oslo and Vestre Viken HF. Such a high-level
research consortium ensured the inclusion of the best scientific expertise in Norway to assess the
performance and utility of Antegenes tests. This means that one of the largest hospitals applied tests in
6 Version 3.0 as of 28/04/2025 14:06:41 CEST
a clinical practice and a well-connected cancer knowledge cluster communicated the project outputs to
drive further engagement in the local stakeholder community. Abovementioned collaboration has a
transnational impact in fostering innovation, enhancing various market access, and establishing a robust
network for ongoing cooperation. Several partnership-based cooperations are planned to be continued
in future projects, including the abovementioned examples.
Partners search and bilateral activities were actively fostered by donor programme partner, who
organized various umbrella events for all beneficiary countries. These activities included B2B Match and
networking, that proved to be a success in introducing both business opportunities as well as promoting
international partnerships. During the implementation period, more than ten events aimed at developing
bilateral relations were organized, which were attended by about a hundred representatives from the
Estonian companies and public institutions. This indicates to the continuous interest towards such
initiatives, but also the future potential for cooperation, which will lead to new projects and long-term
collaborations.
Challenges and Lessons Learned
The number of donor partnerships in Green ICT programme remained somewhat modest than initially
expected and therefore the bilateral effect did not reach fully desired potential. Project Promoters have
cited difficulties in engaging partners, including lack of partner interest in some fields, but also
simultaneous start of programmes in several beneficiary countries and therefore increased competition
for attracting Norwegian partners. The collaboration was undoubtedly affected by the COVID-19
pandemic, which inevitably resulted in limited communication and travel. This in turn led to smaller
number of bilateral partnerships without reaching its full potential and is therefore considered as the
main challenge in the programme.
A prerequisite for successful cooperation is also a common understanding of both the Estonian and
Norwegian business environment, regulations, local opportunities and challenges. The lack of
knowledge of such background sometimes caused misunderstandings or delays in project
implementation, as partners often needed time and resources to adapt to the specific conditions in some
areas. In some cases, the interest of Norwegian partners remained low or even disappeared during the
implementation of the project, which in some projects led to determination of projects in early stage.
However, one of the major concerns for Norwegian partners appeared to be a low grant rate and
regulatory requirements in the reporting and cost verification process. Although simplified procedure
was applied to partners based on Regulation, enabling to submit report by an independent auditor or
internal public officer for public organisations, the requirements for that remained somewhat unclear and
complicated. Also, involving an external auditor required financial resources from the partners, as well
as time and commitment, which might be one of the reasons of the collaborations may not always go as
smoothly as planned. This is a lesson to learn for the upcoming period, where all reporting requirements
must be clear and understandable to all counterparts, but also simple and flexible despite its complexity,
for instance, regarding state aid rules.
As also pointed out by independent programme impact evaluator, for the successful implementation of
such complex and intricate projects, it is important to ensure a flexible framework in the rules and
conditions, which allows grant recipients to adjust project objectives and budgets according to the needs
of partners and changing conditions, while complying with the programme's funding conditions and other
related EU and national regulations. Reducing administrative burdens for partners by establishing
clearer frameworks for bilateral collaboration could enhance efficiency and outcomes, but also
encourage more Norwegian partners to be involved in the programme. One possibility to mitigate this
risk occurring in the upcoming period is strengthening collaboration between implementing agency and
donor programme partner by providing even more practical tools and platforms to facilitate partnerships
and better understanding the regulatory framework. Also, more attention should be paid to promoting
strategic and long-term cooperation with Norwegian companies and focus on areas where cooperation
allows for the highest innovation and market potential.

Description of budget spending
Programme management
There was an underspending of programme management cost due to covid crises, which limited the possibilities to travel. Initially planned IT development
works of project management environment of the Implementing Agency was cancelled as it started using the central project management system
administered by the National Focal Point. It resulted with remarkable savings in the programme management budget.
Outcome 1: Increased competitiveness of Estonian companies within focus areas Green Industry Innovation, ICT and Welfare Technology (Norway
Grants)
Budget was spent on payments to project promoters. Some amounts were not reimbursed to project promoters due to errors in calculations or due to minor
irregularities. Some project promoters used their financial resources more effectively than initially planned. Most of the project promoters achieved the project
results in full scale and all the project related costs were reimbursed accordingly. Some project promoters decided to terminate the project even before the
start of the project activities and therefore, they did not make any project related expenses. Some project promoters decided to implement a project in a
smaller scale, mainly due to uncertainty caused by the globally worsened security and economic situation. One project achieved the project results only partly,
because the initially planned business model turned out to be less competitive due to increased prices of components of the designed product. Project
promoter realised the changed circumstances and responsibly decided not to implement the project in full scale.

Communication activities
To raise public awareness, several communication activities were carried out, including media articles,
press-releases, content marketing, and social media announcements. Video footage of the best
projects has also been produced and published in EEA media library, implementing agency and
Project Promoters’ media channels. Green ICT program's website ensured the accessibility of all
necessary information about the program and supported projects.
The public opinion survey conducted annually showed that in 2023, 15% of residents had heard of the
EEA and Norway Grants, but only 5% has had direct contact with the grants. In comparison, 96% of
the population is aware of grants provided by European Union. However, 46% of residents would like
to receive more information about the EEA and Norway Grants (48% in 2022; 40-57% in previous
surveys). The most preferred information channels about these grants are equally social media (40%)
and television (38%), followed by national newspapers (31%). An increase in the preference for social
media has raised.
Those aware of EEA and Norway Grants mentioned education and research (22%) and social
field/employment (17%) as the fields that receive funding from that source. The survey did not include
a separate question on the visibility of the Green ICT program, but the low visibility partly indicates to
the low impact of the implementing agency and Project Promoters’ communication activities on public
awareness. Thus, people cannot draw a direct connection with the new innovative solutions in the
market that were made available by the financial support of the Norway Grants.
At the same time, it must be acknowledged that comparing the visibility of smaller programs with larger
EU investments is difficult and even unrealistic. Smaller programs cannot be expected to achieve the
same visibility as larger funded support programs, which have much more visibility and communication
resources at their disposal. Nevertheless, the results of the public opinion survey indicate to the need
to further enhance communication activities and increase the visibility of EEA and Norway Grants
funded projects in the future.

The Project Promoter submitted an application to terminate the project on August 17th, 2022 due to the recent
economic and security crises in the world, which has caused unforeseen obstacles in the implementation of the
project. Supply chains of the materials needed for the project have become uncertain and unavailable, the
components have become twice as expensive, and it is difficult to obtain some of the components needed for the
product development due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Therefore, Project Promoter has indicated in its application
to Implementing Agency that it is not possible to implement the project in the planned scope and time frame. The
Developme National Focal Point has stated: "Based on the explanations and expertise provided to us, we cannot say that the
EE- € € FPR
nt of inverter costs of the project should be considered ineligible due to the termination of the project. In other words, we have no
