'The citizen in the driver’s seat'
Wired Magazine calls the Republic of Estonia ‘the most advanced digital society in the world’. This governmental front-runner has turned the latest technological developments to its advantage. Or better said: to the advantage of its citizens. Putting citizens in the centre of all services provided, the Estonians have built an efficient, secure and transparent digital service ecosystem that saves time and money, and gives the power back to the people. Even to the ones who aren't Estonians (yet).
In Estonia, they believe that government transformation based on technology shouldn’t be an exotic news headline. The fascinating story of their transformation resulting in designing the e-residency programme, blockchain utilisation, voting online and other digital services are inspiring for other countries and even organisations. But to become a truly citizen-centric society and offering a seamless service system isn’t that easy. Generally, governments are divided in hierarchical departments with their own systems that can form barriers in this digital transformation. How to break down silos and being valuable? How to incorporate technology to the benefit of all? Listen to Anna’s keynote speech and follow the e-Estonia journey!
