Estonia is a global leader in the areas of ICT, e-governance, e-health, e-schools, cyber-security and many more areas. In fact, Estonia is the first country in the world to have ‘e-voting’ and ‘digital signatures’ also because of which it currently advises the entire European Union on its digital strategy. The country also signed a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with the Indian Government in February 2014, to implement a similar e-governance system across India.

A small powerhouse with 1.3 million people, Estonia is strategically located in Northern Europe with easy access to Finland, Sweden and Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Russia. A number of innovative SMEs have also entered the Indian market from Estonia and some big Indian companies will soon be announcing their investment in Estonia, considering it is ranked 2ND after Switzerland in terms of economic freedom in Europe.

On receiving the honour, Dr. G.S.K. Velu, Chairman & Managing Director, Trivitron Group of Companies said, “Estonia is one of India’s most important trading partners in the European Union. The country needs to be appreciated for its progressive initiatives like ‘e-residency’, which enable entrepreneurs in India and around the world to establish a real company in the country, online, in less than 15 minutes including a bank account, etc., which allows them to engage in business operations by signing documents digitally from India and trading across Europe. I feel honored and privileged to work towards strengthening the bilateral ties between both the countries in the areas of business, education, tourism”.
