Between 5 and 9 October 2026, Oliver Stimmer, Head of Space Domain at AS Datel, is attending the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2026 in Antalya, bringing together more than 6,000 space industry professionals, researchers, organizations, and innovators from around the world. 

Datel's journey into the space sector is built on more than 35 years of experience in GIS, GovTech, and spatial data management.

In September, Oliver Stimmer, Head of Space Domain at Datel, participated in an event organized by the Spanish Smart Cities Network (RECI). RECI brings together over 150 municipalities, with the primary goal of helping cities implement smart city digital technologies that improve the quality of the living environment and boost urban efficiency and competitiveness.

As part of the Estonian delegation, Datel had the opportunity to attend the German-Baltic Digital Summit and BIG BANG KI Festival, explore the latest developments in AI and digitalization, and connect with forward-looking companies and experts from across Germany and the Baltic region. Germany has been a strategic partner for Datel throughout much of our 35-year history.

In September, Datel, as a  member of the Estonian Association of Information Technology and Telecommunications (ITL), welcomed a delegation from Oman to Tallinn as part of the OSHRM x AI Business Transformation Programme, organised by Tazeez International Group and the Omani Society for Human Resource Management (OSHRM).

From 31 August to 3 September, Datel strengthened its presence in the Middle East by establishing new business contacts and exploring promising cooperation opportunities across Saudi Arabia and the wider region. Aimo Kõva, Datel's Director of International Operations and Business Development, represented the company at LEAP 2026 in Riyadh, one of the world's largest technology events. 

At the Trade Estonia booth, Datel joined fellow Estonian companies Askend, CybExer Technologies, Helmes, and Nortal, together with the Estonian ICT Cluster, to showcase Estonian innovation and digital expertise.

AS Datel celebrated its 35th anniversary at the end of 2025. This milestone marks the journey of a company founded in 1990 – even before the restoration of Estonia’s independence – at a time when the World Wide Web was emerging and personal computers were becoming accessible to a broader audience. Datel’s story is closely intertwined with the development of Estonia’s digital state and represents a long-term, engineering-driven growth path that now increasingly looks toward international markets.

On 10–11 June, Datel will showcase its latest technological capabilities at the Supply Security & Defence Expo (SSD2026). This major international event focuses on strengthening the resilience of critical infrastructure, enhancing civil defence, and boosting technological readiness in an increasingly uncertain global climate.

On 1 June, Tallinn transitioned to a new planning register, integrating planning processes, document management, and public engagement into a single digital platform. "The planning register is a vital tool for city specialists, planners, and residents alike. This new solution makes information more accessible and provides all interested parties with a clear overview of the status and progress of any planning application," said Tiit Terik, Deputy Mayor for Urban Planning.
