Creative Estonia in cooperation with the global entrepreneurship competition Creative Business Cup is inviting start-ups from all over Europe to send their best ideas for the new e-services to the Creative Business Solutions eGovernance competition. The finals will be held on Oct 6th, 2017 during the Ministerial e-Government Conference that is held in the framework of Estonian EU Presidency in Tallinn, Estonia.

For Europe, Estonia is a digital society, a flexible progressive small country striving towards innovations. Our e-image makes us attractive and it is up to us how we are able to take advantage of it in order to transform the interest to investments, jobs, and overall prosperity,“ said Kaja Kallas, a member of European Parliament and a patron to Creative Business Cup Estonia. Entrusting Estonia to organize Creative Business Solutions eGovernance is a highly welcomed recognition to our e-image. We are proud of our achievements: 5 days saved each year by signing documents digitally, it takes 3 minutes to file taxes and 3 hours to start a company and 18,000+ e-residents. But in a such a rapidly developing area you cannot stand still. We want you to be part of our success! The sky is the limit so write down your creative innovative idea for the next groundbreaking e-service to make all of our lives better and submit it to CBC eGovernance Solution!“ said Eva Leemet, head of Creative Estonia

Start-ups from all over Europe are welcomed to participate if their idea for the e-service is innovative, scalable, could be used in the public sector, involves service design principles, and belongs to the team.
