Winter Is Coming!
summary
Estonia aims to grow from 1.3 million to 10 million customers by exporting government services via digital citizenship (e‑residency) rather than physical immigration; it issues digital ID and signatures, runs background checks through 38 embassies, and lets remote entrepreneurs form EU companies. Specifics: 25,000 paid €100 and submitted fingerprints so far, uptake doubles yearly, and services include online signatures, remote company formation and medical records access — real products, audited processes, measurable demand.
