In June 2009, for the third time, Tallinn was chosen as one of the world’s seven most intelligent communities from among 400 candidates. Tallinn is being included among the most intelligent communities for the third year in row – no one else has been able to achieve this. The selection criteria for the Intelligent Communities Forum include both the development level of the infrastructure as well as the ability to be attractive to talented people. For example, Skype was invented in Tallinn and the Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence of NATO is located in Tallinn.
