Digital Health Society (Supported by the Estonia Presidency and ECHAlliance)
Estonia’s Technology Revolution – from the poor house to a world technology leader
Estonia gained independence at the end of the Soviet Union, and promptly dropped into recession, with skyrocketing inflation, fuel costs, and plummeting production. In response, they started a series of reforms to open their country up to trade and investment, and modernised to make themselves one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world. Six years after they were rationing food and fuel, every school in Estonia was online; nowadays, school enrolment and literacy rates are 100%, and Estonia’s GDP per capita is way in excess of other ex-Soviet nations.
