- A deeper cooperation between Estonia and Sweden is a true win-win opportunity. Hopefully, we have worst of the pandemic behind us and now can start to have a more normal exchange between our neighboring countries, says Chairman Pär Nuder.

- Estonia and Sweden are so close that we sometimes take our cooperation for granted. The fund aims to bring more real knowledge of each other, real cooperation in entrepreneurship, culture and civil society, Vicechair Yoko Alender says.
