Ericsson has set its sights on leading innovation in Europe by building a next-generation smart manufacturing and technology hub in Tallinn. The new facility, a green field investment valued at about EUR 155 million, has sustainability and operational efficiency top of mind.

The plan is to consolidate all of Ericsson’s operations in Estonia into a single, state-of-the art, 50,000 sq m smart hub that comprises test labs, warehouses, production lines, and offices. It will be used for co-developing cellular ecosystems and production techniques mainly with customers and partners in Europe but with global impact on industrialization for volume production. By establishing this  European hub, Ericsson will enable a symbiotic relationship between its established R&D in Sweden and manufacturing, where product innovation extends into production and vice versa.

The fully connected hub will be located in Ülemiste City in Tallinn, the largest business park and future-oriented urban area in the Baltics. The new European hub is expected to be operational in early 2026.

Ericsson has currently more than 2,200 employees in Estonia, including engineers and experts in AI and machine learning. The existing factory in Tallinn plays a strategic role in Ericsson’s global supply footprint, accounting for more than 40% of the industrialization of Ericsson 5G products.
