According to Cointelegraph, in the early 1990s, Estonia, emerging from the collapse of the Soviet Union, seized the potential of digital technology to drive national transformation. Estonia saw the Internet not only as a communication tool, but also as a means to reimagine governance, citizen participation, and economic growth.

Estonia's transformation is called e-Estonia, a digital society built on the Internet. Over the past 30 years, Estonia has not only adopted new tools and platforms, but also used the Internet to create a more democratic, transparent and efficient society. Citizens can vote, pay taxes, sign legal documents and access almost all government services online (except divorce applications).

This digital infrastructure increases transparency and accountability while making government services more accessible to all citizens, making Estonia one of the most technologically advanced societies in the world.
