In Estonia, the only public service not available online is marriage. Dubbed the “digital republic”, Estonia has the most advanced e-government in the world and nurtures a vibrant start-up community. Kersti Kaljulaid, President of Estonia, joins Azeem Azhar to explore how legal and technological innovations have helped to build e-Estonia, and how this digital republic is navigating the Covid-19 pandemic.

They explore:

  • How Covid-19 could accelerate technology development and implementation.
  • How Estonia has achieved astonishing transparency and privacy in digital government.
  • How Estonia combats constant cyber threats.
