As per reports, Estonia is now home to thousands of citizens who consider digital as the default. The Baltic state of 1.3 million people has become a role model for the digitalization of state services across the world. Estonia’s rapid success in digitalization is due to the early introduction of electronic ID cards in the early 2000s.
Estonia’s digital ID ecosystem is about to get even more options. Last year, the country attempted to launch a native wallet app called mRiik gathering government services. The app was created in collaboration with Ukraine using their experience in creating its e-government system Diia, which relies on a version of the Estonian distributed interoperability system X-Road.
