Professor David Grant, director of the university's Logistics Institute, said: "The Estonian businesspeople made it abundantly clear they are keen to do business with the region. I am confident local stakeholders, in particular the LEP, International Trade Centre and council will seize all opportunities to encourage Estonian inward investment. We will continue to support them by providing a stream of highly trained logistics and business graduates."
