I really enjoyed @ryanandrosoff.bsky.social #ThinkDigital #Podcast episode Welcome to #Estonia. In Estonia I was struck about their investment in democracy & trust as they build their digital #government.

#DigitalGov requires #Trust & this needs to be demonstrated - thinkdigital.ca/podcast/welc...

Learn more about Estonia’s “Tiger Leap” and much more in our latest Let’s Think Digital podcast episode!

Excited to share the first of a 2-part deep dive into Estonia's digital journey in our latest Let's Think Digital podcast episode! Estonia looms large in the digital government conversation despite being a small country. What led to it becoming a global digital government leader? LetsThinkDigital.ca
