What Teenusmajanduse Koda does

Teenusmajanduse Koda (Estonian Service Industry Association), legal entity MTÜ Teenusmajanduse Koda, is a non-profit association (mittetulundusühing) founded in 2010 and headquartered at Valukoja 8, Tallinn. It represents approximately 100 Estonian companies whose primary asset is people and knowledge, spanning IT, technology, medical services, financial services, legal services, consulting, and the creative sector. Its core service is policy advocacy on tax, labor, education, healthcare, and state-governance reform, articulated through the 'Isemajandav Eesti' (Self-managing Estonia) vision document and operationalized across standing working groups on taxation, flexible employment, education, healthcare, e-residency, and service design.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership fees set by the Board and approved by the General Meeting, supplemented by one-time supporter contributions. The association does not sell commercial products or services; its deliverables are advocacy outputs (the 'Isemajandav Eesti' radio show on Äripäev launched January 2018, press releases, position papers), member events (annual 'Ärihooaja avaüritus' Business Season Opening), the Good Legislation Practice Competition, and the Service Design Award within the Estonian Design Awards framework. Governance is provided by a Board of 5-20 members elected for five-year terms, with Helmes founder Jaan Pillesaar as Board Chairman and Nasdaq Tallinn CEO Kaarel Ots as Supervisory Board Chairman.
