Enterprise Estonia (EAS)
Enterprise Estonia (EAS) and Business Models Inc. teamed up for a Dutch Business Model Innovation Study Tour, giving 20 Estonian companies in-depth knowledge of growth strategies and business model innovation. Over two days, 80 participants visited leading Dutch companies to learn about innovation strategies, market validation and effective scaling.
The challenge
Estonian companies seek new growth opportunities and want to learn from and be inspired by successful firms abroad. The challenge lay in exploring these companies, gaining insightful knowledge on planning, market adaptation and creative thinking, and applying it in a way that aligns with Estonia's unique business environment and goals.
Our approach
Business Models Inc. and BDA Consulting organized a two-day Dutch Innovation Tour from Amsterdam to Waalwijk. Participants visited Odido (innovation horizons dubbed Earth, Moon and Mars), Stadshaven Brewery, SPAR (including its unmanned warehouse and King of Convenience strategy), YesDelft! and the Dutch Science Park.
The results
- Participants gained practical knowledge and best practices on business model innovation, validation and scaling.
- Concrete inspiration on planning innovative strategies, adapting to market changes and thinking creatively about growth.
- A foundation for translating these insights into the Estonian business environment for greater competitiveness and sustainable growth.
The method stayed with the team. It always does.
