SUMMARY:JBANC Baltic Spotlight. "Reboolting a Nation. Estonia's Rise as a Tech Powerhouse"
DESCRIPTION:The Joint Baltic American National Committee (JBANC) hosts its latest Baltic Spotlight on June 4 at 8:00 PM ET\, featuring Joel Burke\, a technologist\, author\, and former e-government advisor. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here \n\n\n\n\nThe conversation will explore Estonia’s digital transformation—from a post-Soviet state to a world leader in e-government and startup innovation. We’ll discuss Estonia’s pioneering use of artificial intelligence in governance\, digital identity systems\, and what other nations can learn from its success. \n\n\n\nJoel Burke is a Georgetown University alumnus based in Washington\, D.C.\, with experience working on four continents and advising both startups and governments. He previously led a team for the Republic of Estonia’s groundbreaking e-Residency program and has advised members of the U.S. Congress on technology and AI policy. \n\n\n\nJoel’s book\, Rebooting a Nation: The Incredible Rise of Estonia\, E-Government and the Startup Revolution\, offers an insider’s perspective on Estonia’s rapid ascent as a digital powerhouse. From the rise of companies like Wise and Bolt to a state where 99% of government services are online\, the book explores the bold reforms\, technologies\, and mindset that reshaped an entire nation. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a thoughtful look at how one nation leveraged innovation to modernize governance and empower its citizens!
