Since 1998, the city of Tartu has been recognizing the best entrepreneurs. The competition is based on economic indicators submitted by all registered companies in Tartu and the Tartu County to the Business Register by the required deadline.

Based on the results from the previous fiscal year, Tartu’s top entrepreneurs were invited to the recognition gala. Digiwise is pleased to highlight three companies that were honored at the event:

Icosagen Cell Factory OÜ opened a 1,600 square meter manufacturing facility in June 2023, where therapeutic antibodies and proteins for clinical trials are produced. The company was awarded the title of Investor of the Year. Over the past year, Digiwise has had several meetings with Icosagen to support their efforts in taking production process digitalization to the next level.

Torm Metall OÜ is a long-time partner of the Tartu College of Applied Sciences. They were recognized for their contribution to advancing applied education, including investments in learning materials, equipment, and mentoring.

Saunasell OÜ takes pride in Romet Tsirna, who stood out to the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for his youth and entrepreneurial spirit. Romet was awarded the title of Best Young Entrepreneur in Tartu County. Saunasell OÜ has also shown interest in using artificial intelligence for some of their business operations, and Digiwise has worked with them to explore the best solutions.

Foxway OÜ received the title of Job Creator of the Year and was also recognized as Export Growth Leader of the Year. Digiwise and Foxway have collaborated through the Digitalization Masterclass, and we are thrilled to see these well-deserved awards go to them.

The recognition of Tartu’s entrepreneurial leaders underscores that innovation and collaboration are cornerstones of successful business ventures. Digiwise is proud to be part of their success story, helping them achieve their goals through the digitalization and automation of their production processes.
