In the latest episode of The Art of Digitalisation, hosts Johanna-Kadri Kuusk and Petra Holm examine how Estonia’s digital foundations are being leveraged to manage the green transition. First, we hear from Mikk Vainik, Head of Development at Rohetiiger, who explains how digital systems, data exchange, and cross-sector collaboration are delivering carbon-neutral and biodiversity-enhancing business models in Estonia. Then, we speak with Sven Parkel, General Manager of the Estonian Hydrogen Cluster, about the role of renewable hydrogen, the Hydrogen Valley initiative, and how startups and research can scale hydrogen value chains across the EU.

If you are interested in where digital governance meets industrial sustainability, this episode is essential listening.

  • How Estonia’s legacy in digital governance (secure data exchange, interoperability, automation) is now supporting sustainability goals.

  • Why systemic road-maps across energy, transport, land use, industry and circular economy matter, and how Rohetiiger helps businesses translate them into action.

  • What renewable hydrogen really is, how Hydrogen Valleys function, and why this matters for small countries aiming for energy independence and decarbonisation.

  • What role Estonian startups and research institutions are playing in cleantech innovation, and the challenges they still face.

  • What happens if Europe fails to prioritise renewable hydrogen, and what individuals and companies can do to engage.
