Estonia is the most advanced digital democracy in the world. We share our learnings and support others around the globe. Our decentralized digital systems are our strength.
Estonia has become a wealthy economy that leads Europe in startups and unicorns per capita and attracts the attention of global blue-chip investors and asset managers.
Estonia’s education system is one of the best in Europe as the focus is set on digital skills – and it is a resounding success (proven by best performance of Estonian students in Europe, resulting in a high overall ranking in PISA tests).
All of Estonia’s political parties are Western-oriented, and the participation in politics, civil society, elections and military service is high.
Estonia is committed to defending every inch of NATO territory as a full and active member of the alliance that consistently spends well above the minimum level of defence spending (a GDP contribution to national defence is at least 5%), contributes to international peace keeping operations, and provides specialist value in areas such as cyber security (NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence HQ in Tallinn).
Internationally renowned restaurant ranking system the Michelin Guide has reached Estonia and the positive impact of this step on Estonia’s tourism exports and reputation will be long-lasting.
