about freshmango – European accelerator & innovation hub

[about us]

A piece of our story.

Freshmango was born in 2020 in Estonia—the world’s most advanced digital society. Inspired by a country where 99.9% of public services are online (including voting and filing taxes), we saw firsthand how deeply technology could transform everyday life.

We set out with a clear mission: to help businesses around the world unlock that same level of digital excellence. From demystifying AI and automation to solving real operational challenges, we deliver tailored solutions that are grounded in strategy—not hype.

Today, freshmango operates as a digital holding at the intersection of innovation and execution. Through our accelerator, funding, services, and investments, we empower ambitious companies to scale smarter, move faster, and build confidently for the future.
