About LEAP LEAP is an initiative powered by AIESEC in Estonia, first time organised in 2015. The event aims to create an interactive space for Estonian students, startups and investors to exchange knowledge, validate ideas and potentially upscale their businesses either through talents or acquisitions. " What makes LEAP truly unique is the interactive learning environment prompted by the encounter of different sectors within startup ecosystem. This generates a wide range of opportunities for not only the event participants but also for Estonian society. " LEAP is an official event in the annual ICT week of Estonia happening from 8th - 15th May 2015, full of events related to entrepreneurship for Nordic and Baltic entrepreneurs and investors. " We expect the attendance of 150 Estonian students, 50 Estonian startups and many investors both Estonian and international from different industries. LEAP for Estonia Estonia is known for the fastest growing startup community that has strived to surprise the international network regardless of the countrys modest demographics and conditions. The development of this sector has contributed to the shaping of the business environment of Estonia and improving the competitiveness of the country. " Nevertheless, we believe the story of Estonian startup success has not yet reached its height. The change in demographics, international affairs and global competitions question the position of the country as the startup nation. Estonian startups reaching for success need a strong foundation of essential business skills and market understanding to triumph the global startup scene. " For those mentioned reasons, LEAP 2015 wants to create a space of practical learning and opportunities where answers for the growth of Estonia as a startup nation emerge from interactions and actions taken among investors (both Estonian and international), Estonian students and Estonian startups. c
