New approaches
The innovation of South Estonia is to make things properly and not in large quantities – instead, we focus on exciting niches. These are the things that inspire the creator as well as the larger audience.

South Estonia is exciting!
Erkki Peetsalu, Head Editor of National Geographic Estonia
Come and discover life on the border of different worlds. Come alone or with few companions rather than in crowds. Come with good intentions, with a smile on your face. And come in silence, bring less noise and more mindfulness as a gift – then you will be able hear and see. But come you must, if you feel the call of South Estonia.
