On November 12, our Charter Gold Members were treated to an extraordinary experience at OKO Restoran, as CoinsPaid hosted the exclusive event "Block By Block: Sensory Journey". Blending the art of fragrance with the innovation of blockchain, the evening was a celebration of creativity, technology, and connection.

Guests explored the principles of top, middle, and base notes, gaining hands-on experience in designing their own unique scents—a truly personal and unforgettable keepsake from the evening.

Complementing the sensory journey was a generous dinner buffet, accompanied by endless cocktails, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests to relax, indulge, and connect. The event fostered an exceptional networking environment, allowing members to catch up with old friends and forge new connections in an elegant, engaging setting.

From the immersive scent experiences to the masterclass, culinary delights, and lively conversations, Block By Blockperfectly captured CoinsPaid’s commitment to innovation, excellence, and community.

We are pleased to share a brief recap of this year’s AmCham Healthcare Forum, where Estonian and international experts came together to discuss one of today’s most critical topics: how smart, well-targeted healthcare investments can drive Estonia’s next wave of economic growth.

Across keynotes and panel discussions, one message stood out clearly - stronger prevention, smarter use of health data, and a shift toward value-based care are essential to building a healthier population and ensuring long-term economic competitiveness.

Speakers noted that without meaningful change, Estonia risks substantial long-term tax-revenue losses. At the same time, every euro invested in health can return up to fivefold in societal and economic value.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all speakers for their insights and forward-looking perspectives:
Social Minister Karmen Joller (Sotsiaalministeerium), Alex Beauvais (McKinsey Health Institute), Karla Fernandez (WifOR), Hanno Püttsepp (AmCham Healthcare Committee Vice-Chair & VP of the Chamber), Ahti Kuningas (Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications / Majandus- ja Kommunikatsiooniministeerium), Kaupo Koppel (Foresight Center / Arenguseire Keskus), Helery Tasane (HC Solutions), and all panelists who contributed to the dialogue.

A warm thank-you to our sponsors and partners, whose support made this event possible:
✨ Gold Sponsor: Amgen, Novartis
✨ Silver Sponsor: AstraZeneca
✨ Bronze Sponsors: Roche, MSD Eesti, Medtronic

Thank you to everyone who joined us - your engagement and questions once again proved how important collaboration is for shaping Estonia’s healthcare future.
We look forward to continuing these discussions and working together toward a healthier, stronger, and more resilient Estonia.

AmCham Women in Leadership Delegation Visits JOIK Eesti – From One Woman’s Dream to a Global Brand

The AmCham Women in Leadership delegation had the privilege of visiting the production site of JOIK Eesti, an Estonian brand that has grown from a small home-based venture into an internationally recognized name in natural cosmetics and home spa products.

Founded in 2005 by Eva-Maria Õunapuu, JOIK began as one woman’s creative pursuit and has since blossomed into a powerful example of how passion, perseverance, and purpose can shape a globally admired business. Inspired by Estonia’s nature, JOIK is built on the values of effectiveness, honesty, naturalness, and emotional connection—principles that continue to guide every product and every decision.

During the visit, the delegation had the unique opportunity to see firsthand how JOIK’s beloved products are created, from sourcing natural ingredients to the meticulous production process that ensures the brand’s consistent quality. The behind-the-scenes experience highlighted the brand’s commitment not only to beauty and well-being but also to sustainability and authenticity.

A highlight of the event was meeting Eva-Maria Õunapuu, who shared her inspiring entrepreneurial journey—from experimenting with candle-making in her kitchen to leading an internationally distributed brand. Eva-Maria spoke candidly about the challenges and triumphs of growing JOIK, the company’s evolving strategy, and the importance of staying true to one’s values while expanding globally.

The visit left participants deeply inspired by JOIK Eesti’s story and by Eva-Maria’s example of visionary, values-driven leadership. Her journey serves as a reminder that great ideas, when nurtured with passion and integrity, can flourish far beyond their beginnings.

The AmCham Women in Leadership delegation thanks JOIK and Eva-Maria for the warm welcome, insightful discussions, and for showing that Estonian innovation and authenticity can indeed make a mark on the world.

Yesterday, AmCham Estonia held its Fall Edition of the C-Suite Briefing, graciously hosted by META Advisory. This exclusive gathering brought together senior executives for a timely and insightful discussion on the outcome of the recent local elections and their potential impact on the business and investment climate in Estonia.

The conversation was expertly led by Andreas Kaju, Managing Partner at META Advisory, whose in-depth political analysis set the tone for a dynamic and thought-provoking session. Providing valuable perspectives from within Tallinn’s leadership, Deputy Mayors Karl Sander Kase (Pro Patria/ Isamaa erakond) and Kaarel Oja (Sotsiaaldemokraatlik Erakond) joined the discussion to share their reflections on the election results, governance priorities, and the city’s approach to fostering a competitive and sustainable business environment.

The event offered a rare opportunity for C-level leaders to engage directly with policymakers and political experts in an intimate, off-the-record setting. Participants exchanged views on how the shifting political landscape could shape urban development, investment opportunities, and public-private cooperation in the coming years.

AmCham extends its sincere thanks to META Advisory for hosting this engaging session and to our distinguished speakers for their openness and insight. The C-Suite Briefing series continues to serve as a trusted platform for strategic dialogue at the intersection of business and policy.
