Penny's Tartu tip
Tartu's unique academic and R&D ecosystem makes it fertile ground for AI transformation, especially in optimizing knowledge-intensive processes. While operating costs are lower than Tallinn, the impact of AI on efficiency and innovation is profound. I recall working with a small biotech startup located in the Tartu Science Park. They were grappling with extensive manual data analysis for their experiments and the time-consuming process of drafting grant applications, which effectively required a full-time junior research assistant at about €1300/month. We integrated AI tools for automated data preprocessing and used an AI assistant to generate initial drafts for grant proposals and scientific summaries. These AI solutions cost them merely €110/month. This allowed their core research team to dedicate more time to actual scientific breakthroughs, turning a cost center into an innovation accelerator within Tartu's intellectual hub.
