On 11 October, our founder Jan Lagast joined TalTech School of Business and Governance as a guest for the Business internationalisation course led by lecturer Federico Pirola. Jan shared lessons from building his first business in the Benelux, scaling companies across Europe, and his teaching experiences worldwide.

The course examines how companies expand beyond their home market, linking strategy to operations and market entry. At TalTech, international business is a core pillar within the School of Business and Governance, which delivers accredited programmes and combines academic research with practitioner input.

Federico Pirola is an entrepreneur and long-time Estonian e-resident, coach-advisor, and partner at Emerald Foundry. He lectures on international business topics at TalTech, and is one of the ImpactBuilders. His background spans banking and SME growth support in Europe.
