The President of the great nation of Estonia - Mr. Toomas Hendrik Ilves - visited Silicon Valley from June 9th to June 14th 2009 and GEP had the great honor of providing a Professional Study Tour for him and the accompanying business delegation. This was a momentous occasion for both GEP and the Silicon Valley region.

Estonia is one of the most technically advance countries in the world and has positioned itself well within the Information Technology sector.  Additionally, the country is considered the most “wired” and advanced country in Europe in the terms of e-Government.

GEP successfully arranged visits to such organizations as Microsoft, Intel and Stanford and also arranged for a networking luncheon in which President Ilves provided the keynote speech.  We were privileged to accommodate him and his delegation and look forward to continuing to work with this great nation.
