Subject: RE: ESNA - EDIC | Formal submission
Dear Mafalda,
Thank you for your message and for following up on the ESNA EDIC establishment process.
Please find below/attached our previous correspondence on this matter, in which we already outlined Estonia’s position.
I would like to kindly confirm that Estonia wishes to remain involved as an observer member. For our purposes, the current involvement through Startup Estonia continues to sufficiently address our needs, and therefore we do not intend to proceed with formal membership or sign the declaration of support at this stage.
Thank you for your understanding and for the continued cooperation. We appreciate the opportunity to stay informed and engaged in the ESNA EDIC process in this capacity.
Best regards,
Liisi Kirch
Head of Startup Sector Policy
Innovation and Technology Department
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications
Republic of Estonia
