Abstract. To send a man to the Moon, was the strong vision leading peaceful develop­ment of science and technology in the United States after WWII (Kennedy 1962). This article discusses if Estonian science, technology and innovation policy should be led by any longer-term clearly spelled out objectives, which would result in the consolidation of efforts in science, economy, and society at large. The author also aims to initiate a debate on what could be the bases for such a shared vision on Estonia’s future.
