Researchers and businesses had different goals. How did STACC bring them together, secure funding and set out to make Estonia's IT sector more research-intensive?

STACC is building a synthetic population for Estonia's transport model, enabling detailed mobility analysis and infrastructure planning without exposing personal data.

For someone with hearing loss, sounds like a smoke alarm or doorbell can be life-critical information. That’s why Estonian company Soundfree, in collaboration with STACC, is developing an AI-powered solution that can recognise important household sounds.

As solar power capacity continues to grow across Estonia and Europe, knowing how much sunlight actually reaches the ground becomes increasingly important. Accurate irradiance estimates help solar park operators monitor production, detect faults, and improve energy planning. Yet measuring sunlight everywhere with ground instruments alone is impossible. The challenge lies in estimating Surface Solar Irradiance

The energy sector is changing fast. Daily headlines about green transition strategies, geopolitical shifts, and supply security make that clear. The transition to a carbon-neutral economy and local energy independence both depend on our ability to integrate renewables into existing power grids.  Today, grid operators manage renewable energy influx using a “static maximum” approach. Connection

Every solar and battery sales engineer in the Baltics knows the moment: you’re twenty minutes into a meeting with a promising customer. A logistics company, a dairy farm, a developer planning solar on a new commercial rooftop. And they ask the question that decides everything: so, what’s the payback time? You have two options: give

You want to develop an innovative product based on artificial intelligence or machine learning. But where to start? And how to finance the necessary research and product development if your own resources are not enough? This is where support from the Estonian state comes in: several grants from Enterprise Estonia (EIS) can help move your

Many products and services fall short not because they’re unneeded, but because the user experience isn’t smooth or engaging enough. Analyzing user behavior helps reveal where a product excels – and where it needs improvement. A great example of this approach is a collaboration on the Multiplication Game. STACC analyzed user data to provide the

As the share of renewable energy continues to grow, the need for large-scale energy storage solutions becomes increasingly critical. Ensuring energy security and maximizing profitability requires careful, data-driven planning of investments in energy production, storage, and consumption. Long-term decisions demand robust calculations – presented in a way that enables all stakeholders to make swift and
