Despite the fact that The Tall Ships Races 2021 will be postponed to 2024, the city will be holding a grandiose maritime festival and several other traditional summer events.
The environmental education activities of Tallinn's educational institutions again received international recognition - one school and five kindergartens were awarded the Eco-School Green Flag label, which were presented by Deputy Mayor Kalle Klandorf this week.
The world's largest training regatta ‘The Tall Ships Races’ will not take place this year due to COVID-19 restrictions and the ongoing spread of the pandemic. The regatta will return to the Baltic Sea in 2024. Instead, Tallinn will be holding an impressive maritime festival in the five ports of Tallinn this summer, taking place in 16-18 July.
The city supports local companies through the summer campaign "Discover Tallinn!", which invites all Estonians to take part in the capital's diverse cultural summer.
Tallinn always chooses an idea that will help to improve either the urban or business environment. This time, the winner was the economically promising and responsible young company DeepPeat.
If needed, the Tallinn Social and Health Care Board, in cooperation with the capital's hospitals and ambulances, will ensure that COVID-19 patients are safely transported home from the medical institution.
Tallinn has been ranked second in the 2022 Emerging Europe Business-Friendly City Perception Index for smart city development. Estonia tops the ranking of Eastern and Central European countries in terms of business environment conducive to foreign investment.
