The aim of the article is to introduce the Estonian priority projects submitted under the Three Seas Initiative (3SI), in the period 2018–24, and to answer the research question: whether there is a convergence between the assumptions of the Estonian priority projects and the strategic objectives of the Initiative, which are: improvement in the area of economic growth, digitalization, well-being in the region and rise of its attractiveness and competitiveness in the European and global scale, as well as improving energy security and realizing of European Union’s climate goals and defending geopolitical interests of the region. Political elites of Estonia, believe that the 3 SI project can be complementary and beneficial for both: the Initiative’s member states and the European Union. Estonia sees diplomatic potential in the Initiative too, also in terms of building good relations in the region and is very committed to developing the formal institutional structure of the project. The Estonian ‘interconnection priority projects’, especially in the areas of digitalization, energy and transport, are seen as a tool to expand modern components in key infrastructure, which in turn will support new business models and technologies in the 3SI region.
