ESTIMA has been established in 2016 by a group of knowledge enthusiasts driven by the desire to contribute to a positive change in our community, but became operational at the end of 2019. Our mission is to set up and develop the first globally-recognized knowledge brand in the country and the broader region. We strive to challenge the existing standards in the area of knowledge creation and exchange, and to define new ones. We work with a roster of experts which includes some of the most knowledgeable and qualified people in their areas, hired upon assignment. ESTIMA consists of a non-profit branch that engages in state-of-the-art research and advocacy. We uncover the stories behind the numbers, the trends behind the facts, the key insights to help policy makers design policies that will benefit the community. We also support the community by identifying and voicing the challenges it faces and providing solutions. In addition, through our consultancy branch we put our knowledge in the service of the business community, public institutions and international organizations to support them create new value. Through hands-on experience in working with various stakeholders in the EU, China and the Western Balkans, we have gathered extensive expertise of the complex relations and policies that drive these regions that we convey through a number of tailor-made products and services.
