e-Annual Report enables

entrepreneurs in Estonia to submit annual reports via the e-reporting environment of the Central Commercial Registry. Almost 120,000 companies in Estonia use this new method of reporting. Its uniformity makes the entry and submission of data significantly more convenient for companies, as there is only one place and specific channel to submit all required data. Companies do not have to submit data to public authorities more than once, as the data reported is retrievable from the central system by all other relevant databases leading to less red tape for all.

The e-government system used in Estonia has created more transparent, efficient, convenient and trustworthy relations between citizens and government agencies. e-Annual Report uses the internationally recognized XBRL standard, meets all WCAG requirements and responds to AAA level, thus anticipating the European Digital Agenda 2020.

Malaria kills over a million a

year: a simple SMS could prevent 20% of those deaths. In order to fight the deadly consequences of the growing global counterfeit pharmaceutics market, mPedigree, operated by Sproxil, enables enables anyone in a developing country with access to a cell phone to authenticate their drugs before use. It works via a simple SMS, accessible by default on all phones, and available on all cellular networks. Akin to the very popular scratch card method for replenishing cellular talk-time, users reveal a single-use code on drugs and SMS it to a provisioned mobile shortcode, which, in turn, generates an automated verification response. There is no cost to the drug patron – genuine drug manufacturers are eager to bear the entire cost due to the entrenched benefits they stand to reap when counterfeiters are driven out of the market. Armed with a simple cell phone, users can finally rely on the quality of their medicine.

Mini-mundi is an online

tamagotchi, a virtual planet to learn how to separate for recycling. Depending on how well the planet is cared for, it starts growing an abundance of flora, fauna, natural resources and funny creatures. Mini-mundi was created in order to provide an entertaining way to teach kids how to separate for recycling. The game begins by giving children a little baby world which they have to nurture through recycling ta sks and games of which there are 16 throughout the platform. The game adapts its interface to the time of the day the child plays and also displays the 4 different seasons through the year. Players receive different forms of recognition and can make albums with the different stages of their mini-mundi. The technically welldesigned Mini-mundi platform also provides a tool for teachers to register kids in their classrooms to promote an environmental conscience.

The oldest culture in the world

meets the newest technology.

Following the world-wide success of Oscar winning feature film ‘Ten Canoes’, the indigenous Yolngu people of Ramininging, Australia have collaborated with filmmaker, Rolf de Heer, to further showcase their prided culture in the first ever feature film to be specifically made for and released on the internet.

The Twelve Canoes site is an immersive digital experience based around twelve visual ‘poems’, which paint a compelling portrait of the culture, history and homeland of the Yolngu people. The website has been designed to exploit the strengths of the online environment, offering a highly immersive state of engagement, and thereby providing a platform that challenges the cinematic status quo. The visitor is guided through the intuitive content, yet his path is never dictated; design and navigation enhancing, rather than over-powering, film quality. This beautiful and unique project has provided one of the oldest cultures in the world the opportunity to connect with new generations worldwide and keep its culture alive through modern technology.

When the United Nations World Summit on Information Society got underway at the Geneva Summit in 2003, access to the wireline services was the key concern. 10 years later after the mobile revolution the world is moving fast to the point when there will be more phone connections then people living on this earth.

The Internet of things will make the human environment much smarter and broadband everywhere and for all will complete the tech roll out envisioned in 2003.

In 2013 the challenge is what these means are to be used for: Smart technology or smart people?
