# Revolutionizing Economic Development

• **Asking a different set of questions.**

• Business Development & Attracting new companies: excellent for manufacturing, inefficient for ‘new’ entrepreneurship and collaboration

• Talent Acquisition: Although physical locations would not be necessary at the beginning for most eResidency businesses, it would make sense to dwell in Wyoming.

• Business-friendly tax climate

• Room to grow (metaphorically and literally)

• Instead of trying to fish for the already established companies, SMEs have the chance to develop their business under Wyoming law --> some bound to succeed, and they remain in the state.

“ESTONIAN E-RESIDENCY AND CONCEPTIONS OF PLATFORM- BASED STATE-INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIP”

• 2022 study by Piia Tammpuu, Anu Masso, Mergime Ibrahimi, Tam Abaku

• University of Tartu and 2Tallinn University of Technology

**Estonian eResident Quotes**

• I found it really cool that a country was so welcoming and would say: “Ok, if you want to be an additional type of citizen [...], you are more than welcome. You don’t have the same exact rights and you can’t vote but you can create a company and do things for the country.” So, it was a kind of mix of e-residency and e-citizenship in the beginning, and I found it very attractive because it was very welcoming" (eR6 French).

• “I just liked the idea and wanted to support it – the fact that it is a novel way of looking at citizenship.[...] There is a country that wants to make you a citizen of the digital country or digital world. [...] In a world where everybody is trying to close the bar and stay out, there is a country saying everybody is welcome. Yeah, that’s a nice message (eR10 Belgian).”

**Conclusive Findings**

• “…being an electronic resident can also imply a value- based opt-in ‘digital membership’ in a state,

and thus serve as a basis for collective identification and transnational belonging” (pg. 18).
