Fixing regulation to unlock innovation

In this episode, we explore how governments can enable innovation by adapting regulation to keep pace with technological change. Johanna-Kadri Kuusk speaks with Olari Püvi and Oliver Rätsep from Accelerate Estonia about how regulatory barriers are identified and redesigned to help new ideas reach the market. The episode also features insights from Sidsel Bülow Skovborg , Digitalisation Councillor at the Danish Embassy of London, recorded at the Global Government Forum in London. Together, the discussions highlight how small states can act as testing grounds for scalable solutions, why public–private cooperation matters, and how trust, infrastructure, and clear strategy shape successful digital governance. We’ve also got a quick invitation: Digit x PyCon 2026 , a one-day software engineering conference, takes place in Tartu on October 9 . The event brings together talks, workshops, and hands-on sessions focused on how AI and LLMs are changing software development in practice. More information: digit.dev.
