TalTech is where future is made. The campus is home to Estonia’s first self-driving car (ISEAUTO) and the TTÜ100 satellite — both student-led and run projects.

One of the recent initiatives — TalTechDigital — links digitalisation with education, making the campus the test ground for the first 5G network in Estonia.
