Estonia’s first dedicated incubation center for manufacturing and service companies has opened in the southeastern city of Võru.
Called Inku, the nearly 2,000-square-meter hub offers modern workspace for both startups and established businesses, helping ease the shortage of production space in town.
The hub houses 17 units ranging from 50–300 square meters in size, all equipped with up-to-date infrastructure.
One of its first tenants is baker Hanna Anett Mark, who moved from Saaremaa to Võru earlier this year and began her search for a suitable bakery space first thing. She said many vacant business spaces in the city are in poor condition.
“When I saw what the Southeastern Estonian Innovation Center (KEIK) was doing, this seemed like exactly the right place to come,” Mark said. “My goal is to create a community bakery intended for locals.”
