    World-leading electronic identity

    with SK ID Solutions

    Estonia has by far the most advanced national ID card system in the world. Much more than a legal photo ID, the mandatory national card also provides digital access to all of Estonia’s secure e-services. In cooperation of SK ID Solutions and Cybernetica the so-called Smart ID was developed. Smart-ID is an app based new generation electronic identity designed to use conveniently on smart devices, while still keeping high level of security.

  • The Tokenization of Everything

    With Guardtime

    The cost to the global economy of managing human trust can be measured in the trillions of dollars per year. A whole range of business functions (audit, compliance, cybersecurity, inspection, certification) exist that try to narrow the uncertainty associated with trusting others. However, they fail, with rising cost. Our vision is a world where these functions no longer exist as they are cryptographically encoded into the design of applications.

     

    Ease of doing business

    with Nortal

    FinTech ecosystem in Estonia

    with Finance Estonia

    FinanceEstonia was founded in 2011 under the leadership of the Estonian Development Fund by 16 companies and organizations with the desire to promote the local financial sector ecosystem and the export of financial services. To date, FinanceEstonia gathers more than 90 members from the private and public sectors and is fully funded by members.

    Today, we work as an umbrella organization of the financial sector to represent the common interests of the members and increase the economic security of Estonia. Our goal is that the legislation does not slow down entrepreneurship, but creates new opportunities for it by supporting innovation.

    FinanceEstonia is a voice amplifier for representatives of the financial sector in communication with the public sector and the public. We offer members access to important information and decision makers. For us and our members, a modern and business-supporting environment, mutual networking and the creation of new contacts are important. We work as a common network so that the financial sector is a driver and supporter of the development of our economy and companies.
