We are incredibly proud to announce that this June, the Ministry of Defence recognized us with the Supporter of National Defence Silver Level award. What makes this achievement particularly meaningful is our progression from the Bronze Level, which we were awarded in 2024. It’s a clear sign that our contribution to national defence is more than just words—it’s based on conscious and consistent action.

GoGoNano as a Supporter of National Defence

GoGoNano is an Estonian company that develops and manufactures environmentally friendly nanotechnology-based surface protection and cleaning products. We are known for innovative solutions that offer everyday protection and extend the lifespan of items. This same protective ethos extends to our attitude towards society and our country.

“Just as we create technologies to protect surfaces and materials from wear and tear, we firmly believe in our duty to also protect what is dearest to us—our country, our freedom, and our people,” explains company CEO Kaur Reinjärv. “National defence is our shared responsibility. Our team includes several reservists whose contribution is invaluable. Receiving the Silver Level award is a great honour for our entire team and a confirmation that our long-term commitment is bearing fruit.”

What This Recognition Means to Us

To achieve the Silver Level Supporter of National Defence award, a company must contribute significantly more than required by law. For us, this translates into concrete actions:

Unwavering support for our team: We maintain the salaries of employees participating in reserve training and create a flexible work environment that allows them to fulfill their national defence duties with peace of mind. This is the cornerstone of our support—we believe that an employee serving their country should not face a financial burden for fulfilling their duty.
Discounts for all national defenders: We offer a permanent discount on our entire product range to all active duty service members, reservists, and members of the Estonian Defence League (Kaitseliit). It is our way of saying thank you to everyone who contributes to Estonia’s security—whether they are our employees or not.
Championing national defence awareness: We regularly address national defence topics in our communications and articles, encouraging other companies and individuals to contribute. We believe that raising awareness is just as important as direct support.

Comprehensive Defence as Part of Our DNA

Estonia’s national defence relies on a reserve army, making the support of the private sector and employers essential for its success. We have shown that any company, regardless of size, can be a significant partner in national defence. By supporting our employees and valuing all of Estonia’s defenders, we directly strengthen Estonia’s defence capabilities.

Receiving the Silver Level award is not an end point for us, but an important milestone. We will continue our support activities and call on other Estonian companies to find ways to recognize our national defenders. Every supportive employer is a vital link in Estonia’s security. We believe that a company’s contribution to national defence should not be limited to legal requirements—it is an opportunity to show civic courage and protect our people and our country.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our employees, especially those who wear the uniform of the Estonian Defence League (Kaitseliit) or the Defence Forces. Your dedication inspires us to do more every day. Our sincere gratitude also goes to our customers and partners who understand and support our values.

We are proud of the recognition from the Ministry of Defence, but we are even more proud to be able to contribute to Estonia’s security. The award affirms that we are on the right path and motivates us to contribute even more. Because a strong Estonia is built when each of us—both individuals and companies—does our part.
