Estonia’s Pipedrive is cutting 70% of its local workforce as AI disrupts its business model, per Estonian World.

The layoffs follow a broader trend of AI automation impacting tech companies across the Baltic region, with Pipedrive's Tallinn office bearing the brunt of the transition.

Meanwhile, three suspects were detained in Latvia for a suspected arson at a military factory in Tallinn, according to LSM.lv. The incident has raised concerns about security in the region.

Baltic and Nordic Prime Ministers also met in Tallinn to discuss Rail Baltica, as reported by LSM.lv, highlighting ongoing regional cooperation.
