# Finland ## Advancing safe and inclusive digital ecosystems Finland has been a pioneer in digital public infrastructure, implementing the open-source X-Road data exchange system as the “Suomi.fi Data Exchange Layer” in 2015. This standardized solution connects over 800 public digital services, enabling secure, efficient data transfer between citizens, companies, and authorities. By adopting X-Road, Finland promotes transparency, accountability, and data protection. With a multi-stakeholder approach across countries, Finland is advancing safe and inclusive digital ecosystems. As X-Road, developed with Estonia and Iceland, expands globally, Finland is committed to leveraging the Universal DPI Safeguards Framework to ensure sustainable, transparent, and secure digital services for all. {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
