Estonia – digital leader of Europe will make Africa digital leader of the World
Within the last 20 years, Estonia has built a world leading digital society. Estonian ICT Cluster has started an initiative to support African countries in the whole process of building a working digital society and growing a profitable business.
Building e-Estonia as one of the most advanced e-societies in the world has involved continuous experimentation and learning from our mistakes. That is why we are ready to lead by example and believe that we can help African countries to become a safe e-state with automatic e-services available 24/7.

We have experience in setting up an e-Government that works on a large scale
Our participants in our initiatives benefit from the end-to-end approach by:
- getting political and legal drafting consultation;
- receiving change management support;
- getting help with capacity building;
- technology implementation.
