We’re a team of passionate civic tech professionals and expert partners on a mission to to empower as many people as possible to participate in respectful, meaningful discussions. We’re based in Estonia and Indonesia, but are working with partners across the world.
We are a civic tech non-profit organisation headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, with a second office in Jakarta, Indonesia. We work both locally and internationally, running various global projects.
Our mission is simple: To empower as many people as possible to participate in respectful, meaningful discussions and collaboratively decide on issues that impact their wellbeing.
In Estonia, where a national e-ID system is available, the Citizen OS platform is used for signing important documents such as petitions, people’s initiatives, housing association agreements, and NGO meeting minutes. These documents are recognized by all levels of government, including the Riigikogu (Estonia’s Parliament) and the National Commercial Register.
We are dedicated to returning decision-making power to communities by fostering e-democracy and developing innovative technologies that support high-quality collaborative decision-making.
