The digitalization of Estonia began in the 1990s after regaining independence. Key goals were developing IT infrastructure, digital signatures, e-tax, e-services, and X-Road - an open decentralized system linking databases. The national ID card launched in 2002 allows access to e-voting, banking, medical records. E-residency since 2014 provides secure digital identities for location-independent business. Results include transparent accessible government, convenient data exchange, improved healthcare and education, and a prosperous environment for entrepreneurs. A citizen noted pride in Estonia's model and benefits like time savings, reduced corruption, and trust in services.
