Our story

Succeeding at change is our superpower

Having built an economically thriving liberal democracy and the most advanced digital society in just thirty years, we are experts at change, innovation, and efficiency. Estonia gives the world in flux an example to follow.

Despite our small size, nine months of bad weather (debatable!), and geopolitically contentious location — not only do we exist, but we thrive. We owe our freedom to the realisation that small does not mean insignificant on the global stage. We are ready to speak uncomfortable truths and act as a beacon for liberal democracy.

Known globally for our e-governance and e-Residency programme, Estonia also boasts the the highest number of unicorns per capita. The future is powered by our kids who are the best learners in Europe. It is up to us to provide them with an environment to thrive in and sustainable surroundings to cherish — over half of our land is covered by forests and we have one of the best air qualities in the world. One of our biggest successes in change has been our ability to maintain our distinct identity, culture, and language.

Expert at adapting through innovation, Estonia is ready to tackle seemingly impossible challenges — new emerging technologies, climate crises, the fight for democratic principles — with the promise of a better future.
