Decathlon: from opening the largest sports store in the Baltics to Platinum membership.

The French sporting goods leader arrived in Estonia in 2023 and opened a 6,000 m² store there, officially the largest sports store in the Baltic states. A year later, the retailer chose to join the Chamber at the highest membership level to anchor itself in the French-Estonian business community.

"Becoming a member of the French-Estonian Chamber of Commerce is an exciting step for Decathlon Estonia. We look forward to building stronger relationships with the French-Estonian business communities."

Ivan Kiss, Head of Decathlon Estonia

What the Chamber brings: a front-row place in the French-Estonian business community, Platinum visibility and four places at every event.

Corsica Sole: the largest battery park in continental Europe, built in Estonia.

Together with the Estonian energy company Evecon and the Mirova fund, the French renewable energy producer created the Baltic Storage Platform joint venture: two battery storage parks in Harju County, essential to Estonia's energy security after its disconnection from the Russian power grid. The foundation stone was laid in Kiisa on 2 October 2024, in the presence of Estonia's Climate Minister and the French Ambassador.

The following day, Corsica Sole inaugurated the largest solar park in the Baltic states in Kirikmäe: nearly 110 hectares, more than twice the size of the country's previous largest installation.

The Chamber at its side: represented by its Vice-President Brice Gasnier at the ceremony, alongside Estonian and French officials.

Business creation · Competition
18 May 2023winner of the business creation competition
4editions of the competition since, the latest in May 2026

Fruitiki: a business born from our competition.

Anna and Marina, Ukrainian refugees living in Estonia, launched Fruitiki, a brand of healthy snacks made from dried fruit and dried meat. Their project won the business creation competition for Ukrainian women organised by the business club that would become the Chamber, together with the NGO Hands For Ukraine and the Foreign Investors' Council in Estonia (FICE).

The Estonian daily Õhtuleht has since told their story.

The Chamber's role: co-organising the competition and putting the winners in the spotlight. It is the most direct example of its commitment to entrepreneurship in Estonia.
