The city has a maturing investment scene with leading players including the eponymous Jaan Tallinn, who built the back-end to Skype as well as the music sharing application Kazaa.

Tallinn has an exciting events calendar that is captured neatly by the Estonian Startup Leaders Club, and on Facebook by Garage48, Startup Estonia and e-Estonia.

Key meet-ups and events include Garage48, Tech Sisters and Tehnopol as well as the Latitude59 conference and Estonian ICT Week. There is even a TV show dedicated to business ideas, called Ajujaht.
