Meet Digital Estonia is Estonia’s official fringe event during London Tech Week, hosted by the Embassy of Estonia in London and Trade Estonia.

Step into the world’s most advanced digital society. Estonia is the first nation to build a fully digital government, operating seamlessly 24/7 with world-leading security, transparency, and accessibility. Being born digital has shaped a culture of smart, agile development and placed Estonia at the forefront of global technological innovation.

In Estonia, data is designed to serve the citizen. Our digital architecture is built on the principle that individuals, not institutions, control their information. This approach demonstrates how a modern state can use technology to build trust, increase transparency, and make everyday interactions between citizens and government simple and secure.

Estonia’s competitive, future-ready economy supports both multinational companies and fast-growing startups. Estonian businesses combine cutting-edge technologies with clean raw materials, strong sustainability practices, and globally competitive solutions. Estonia is also known for its dynamic startup ecosystem, including the highest number of unicorns per capita in Europe.

This event brings together business leaders, investors, policymakers, and technology professionals interested in digital innovation and practical cooperation opportunities with Estonia. Guests will have the opportunity to meet leading Estonian ICT and HealthTech companies and explore solutions in digital government, healthcare technologies, cybersecurity, AI, and smart business services.

“Meet Digital Estonia” offers a chance to make new connections, exchange ideas, and explore potential partnerships with companies and organisations from one of Europe’s most digitally advanced countries in an open and welcoming atmosphere during London Tech Week.
