    <summary>Coolbet's Estonian company VG Estonia has notified the Unemployment Insurance Fund of more than 130 redundancies, 134 according to Äripäev; that would affect almost half of its 300-plus staff in Tallinn.

    <summary>Estonian CRM software firm Pipedrive plans to downsize significantly at all locations, according to a letter from CEO Paulo Cunha to staff: fewer teams, management layers and offices. Most current roles are affected, and each employee will be informed individually over the next two days.

    <summary>The tram tunnel beneath the Rail Baltica terminal at Ülemiste and the new tram line are complete: since 1 August 2026 lines T2 and T4, coming from the Kopli and Tondi directions, serve Tallinn Airport and the Ülemiste district, restoring the link that had been closed since 2023 because of construction work. The tunnel was built by AS TREF Nord and ATEMO under a EUR 20.9 million contract funded by the EU and Estonia; a 110 m passing loop at the airport terminus, finished in 2025, allows more frequent services. The Ülemiste station (Rail Baltica terminal Linda) is due to be completed in 2028.
