According to the Estonian Ambassador in the UK, Margus Laidre high-tech electronics is certainly one of the areas, where a small country can offer big solutions. „Estonia is already among recognised world leaders with various e-solutions, but we have the potential to offer novel high-tech electronic solutions as well,“ said Laidre. The Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy, Paul Elberg said that Estonia is already a base for engineering and manufacturing several pioneering electronic devices, which were introduced at the seminar today.
Estonia, a member of NATO and the European Union, is the world leader in the well-established practices of electronic identity based authentication and digital signing, e-government, e-tax board, e-voting and e-banking. Skype also originates from Estonia. In 2008 the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence was founded in Estonia engaging in analysis and prevention of cyber attacks, showing a definite trust in the country's ICT sector.
The seminar was jointly organised by the Estonian Embassy in London, Enterprise Estonia in London and UK Trade and Investment.
