Ambassador delivered a lecture entitled “Report from Estonia: Challenges by Estonia, the most digitized country” by using power point presentation.
He tracked the history of the digitization of Estonia, and concluded saying “the most important reason for the success of digitization by Estonia is not her technology, but the trust of the Estonian nationals for digitization, successfully gained by the Estonian government”.

The actual planning and management were conducted by “Osaka Wellness Team”, the students belonging to Prof. KODONO’s seminar, and the Ambassador was very much impressed by their meticulous management.
