X-Road: unique secure web-based data exchange layer

In order to perform their duties, citizens, enterprises and civil servants need data from different state registers and databases.

As many databases were created independently of each other, and were therefore not interoperable, data exchange between them was often complicated.

With the aim of integrating all the state registers and information systems and allowing the provision of e-services through a common interface, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications launched a project called X-Road, a secure web-based data exchange layer, which provides access to the data of state registers through a unified interface.
