What works in Estonia

Estonia has demonstrated significant progress in digital inclusion, with Look@World Foundation's digital literacy campaign training over 100,000 adults (around 10% of the adult population) between 2002–2004, alongside internet-user adoption rising from 28.6% in 2000 to 91.4% by 2016. The country is actively advancing gender equality through organizations like ENUT, which promotes women's representation in decision-making, and through initiatives such as the "Everything is Possible" entrepreneurship program, which engaged 100 female entrepreneurs in growth-focused mentoring. Estonia's entrepreneurial ecosystem is supported by Tehnopol Startup Incubator, which has backed 600+ startups that raised over €40 million, demonstrating strength in startup support, though the practices do not provide comprehensive data on overall economic outcomes or broad-based sectoral performance.
