Estonia is becoming a major AI hub, with the Baltics’ largest AI factory near Tallinn, whose first phase will deliver 22 MW of capacity, and a planned €1.7 billion AI data centre in western Estonia.
Drawn by Estonia’s engineering talent, digital economy and AI ambitions, investors are creating new demand for power systems, cooling, sensors and other data-centre technologies.
Estonian ICT companies develop solutions in a country where digital services are part of everyday life. Estonia’s digital infrastructure has provided a real-world environment for developing secure digital identity, data exchange and public services at national scale.
Companies such as Nortal and Cybernetica have taken this expertise beyond Estonia, delivering digital solutions and know-how to international clients and governments.
Estonia’s small home market encourages technology companies to think internationally from the start. Today, 51% of the ICT sector’s revenue comes from international clients, giving Estonian companies extensive experience in working across markets and adapting solutions to different business environments.
Global success stories such as Wise, Bolt, Pipedrive and Veriff show how products and services developed in Estonia can scale far beyond the local market.
Estonia combines long-standing expertise in cybersecurity, digital identity and secure data exchange with capabilities in AI, data analytics, IoT and robotics.
This expertise is applied across industries and public services. Companies such as Datel and Helmes demonstrate Estonia’s capabilities in geospatial technologies, data-driven solutions, complex software development and systems integration for international clients.
"Estonia is good at cyber security because we get a lot of practice. And that's what attracts a lot of foreign students. They come here to learn from the best."
Estonian companies develop cybersecurity, digital identity and secure data-exchange solutions for governments and businesses. Their expertise covers identity verification, authentication, digital signatures, secure communications, security testing and cyber defence.
Examples include SK ID Solutions’ Smart-ID authentication and digital signing services, Veriff’s identity verification technology, CybExer Technologies’ cyber ranges and OIXIO’s cybersecurity services.
"Estonia is the world's most digitally advanced society."
