In light of recent news about my professional focus I have been asked "why" is it important to help less digitalized nations to become more digital? Would it not be better to focus on Estonia-only and/or EU? It's a fair question worthy of a fair answer. There is a unique opportunity in helping aspiring, but less digital nations and governments. I believe that the very best thing I can do is not just to help governments and organizations to start using more digital services, but to become digital in a way that they are interoperable with leading digital economies of the world. Interoperability has never been about making one country digital internally - this is a convenient by-product - true interoperability is about digital collaboration for the benefit of cooperation across borders. And technological and architectural choices - as well as responsible ways to avoid vendor locking through open source and re-using well designed building blocks - are going to be critical in this mission. Many countries that are on a road to become more digital are going to be major players in global economy of the future and helping them to become digital is a way to help them reach this potential in the first place: it is a prerequisite, not just an enabler. This will lead to digital collaboration of economies - both financial and data and service economies - which will benefit both sides, including Estonian and EU companies. There's an opportunity to build a world here that we would otherwise not see in our lifetimes, sort of like a digital time machine - this is what inspires me. #digitalgovernment #interoperability #xroad #govstack #digitalnation
