We had a very good collaboration between Rootcode and Agricam teams

I was so impressed by Rootcode, how they dealt with the process of developing something in the complete new area based on the requirements. We directly had a very good collaboration between Rootcode and the team at Agricam.

Software business is a people business

To make technology work well, it's about people. It's about the people that develop, sell, implement and support the software. The product will never be better than the people that actually develop it. So I'm very proud about the development team that we have together at BRP and at Rootcode.

WHY WE CHOSE TALLINN?

We chose Tallinn because it’s the centre of our work in Europe. Our European headquarters are located here, we deliver key digital projects for the Estonian government, and many of our longest-standing partners call the city home. Hosting Rootcode Connect 2025 in Tallinn lets us gather right where these collaborations take place.

Why we chose Tallinn?

Theme of the Year:

AI in E-Governance

THE ROLE OF AI IN SHAPING GOVERNMENT SERVICES AND SERVICE DELIVERY FOR CITIZENS

This year at Rootcode Connect, we dive deep into AI in E-Governance — exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way governments serve their people. From automating public services to enhancing transparency and decision-making, AI is becoming a powerful force behind smarter, faster, and more responsive governance.

We believe Rootcode Connect will be the ideal place to bring up conversation on this topic, share real-world use cases, challenges, and the future potential of AI in the public sector. Whether you're in tech, policy, or leadership, this year’s theme promises valuable insights into how AI is revolutionizing digital governance across the globe.
