With the newly established Digital Partnership between Canada and the EU, this is the perfect time to engage with leaders shaping the digital future on both sides of the Atlantic.

As the birthplace of 10 unicorns, including Skype, Bolt, and Wise, and with 8% of its GDP generated by over 9,000 ICT companies, Estonia is a digital powerhouse. Its 99% digital government services, e-Residency program, and global leadership in cybersecurity further solidify its position as a global innovator. Explore opportunities to connect with Estonia’s thriving tech sector and its leaders in government, industry, and entrepreneurship.

The event will feature a panel discussion with Hon.
