Network to innovate: Nordic-Baltic EIP-AGRI Brokerage & Networking Event
The Nordic-Baltic EIP-AGRI Brokerage & Networking Event took place on 24–25 September 2025 in Tartu, Estonia. This two-day in-person event brought together stakeholders from Estonia, Finland, and Latvia to form transnational EIP-AGRI partnerships.
In autumn 2025, Estonia, Finland, and Latvia will synchronize their EIP measure calls for applications, creating a unique opportunity to establish transnational EIP Operational Groups (OGs) and foster cross-border collaboration. To support this process, we have launched the EIP-AGRI Transnational Cooperation Webpage, where interested stakeholders can find: An overview of the legislation regulating EIP support in all three countries; partner search opportunities; key contacts and useful resources.
The next step in this journey is the Nordic-Baltic EIP-AGRI Brokerage & Networking event in Tartu, a two-day physical meeting designed to help participants:
- meet potential partners from Estonia, Finland, and Latvia;
- exchange innovative ideas and explore joint solutions;
- build new transnational EIP OG initiatives.
The programme is carefully designed to make matchmaking simple and effective – guiding participants from first contact to the development of new EIP-AGRI project concepts.
