Suurettevõtte is an Estonian term that translates to "large enterprise" or "major company." It refers to a business entity that has achieved significant scale in terms of revenue, number of employees, or market share. The exact criteria for classifying a company as a "suurettevõte" can vary, but it generally implies a substantial economic presence within Estonia or its relevant sector.

These enterprises typically operate in established industries and often have a long history of operations. They are major contributors to the national economy, providing employment opportunities and generating significant tax revenue. Suurettevõtted often possess considerable resources, allowing them to invest in research and development, expand into new markets, and undertake large-scale projects. Their influence can extend beyond purely economic factors, impacting social development and influencing policy decisions.

The characteristics of a "suurettevõte" can include a complex organizational structure, a diverse product or service portfolio, and an international reach. While the term highlights size, it does not inherently denote superior performance or ethical standing compared to smaller businesses. Instead, it serves as a descriptor for businesses operating at a considerable scale within the Estonian economic landscape.
