“Companies set up by e-residents enrich the local business environment and enhance Estonia’s image as an attractive destination for foreign investment,” explained Andres Sutt, Minister of Entrepreneurship and Information Technology
“Our e-Residency program empowers entrepreneurs from around the world by providing an opportunity to set up and run a business 100 per cent digitally. At the same time, international businesses and talents introduce new skills and knowledge to the Estonian business space, thereby contributing to the development of local companies and improving their global competitiveness,” Sutt added.
According to Lauri Haav, the managing director of Estonia’s e-Residency program, e-residents have been establishing new companies at a record speed. While it took 5 years to reach 10,000 companies, it took only two more to double that figure.
