E-Residency of Estonia is a government-issued digital identity which gives global entrepreneurs remote access to the world's most digital country. It provides the possibility to securely authenticate yourself online and sign documents using the most secure and efficient electronic signatures. Plus, the ability to start a company 100% online from anywhere.
Estonia was the first country to offer e-Residency, starting in 2014. It remains the most popular programme of its kind for ambitious entrepreneurial people.
e-Residency is helping entrepreneurs grow their companies in the new digital economy by democratizing access to entrepreneurship globally. Crucially, Estonia has a transparent business environment and e-Residency does not override existing international rules such as taxation so when citizens around the world benefit from e-Residency, so too do the countries where the value is generated.
Tools like e-Residency can be used by entrepreneurs for conducting domestic and cross-border e-commerce by providing them with a higher level of trust, improving their access to the financial tools needed to run their company, and lowering their administrative burdens.
The majority of the companies that e-residents started are in sectors including IT & communications, professional, scientific & technical services, trade & commerce (including eCommerce), and finance & insurance.
