Go Global, Stay Local: How e-Residency Empowers SMEs to Expand to the EU

13 Nov 2025
Seminar Theatre 15
The world’s most successful companies know one secret: global thinking from day one. But for many small and medium-sized businesses, expanding beyond local borders feels complex, costly, and risky. That’s where Estonia’s e-Residency programme changes the game. As the first government-issued digital identity, e-Residency gives entrepreneurs from anywhere the tools to establish and manage an EU-based company entirely online — from signing contracts to accessing new markets. In this interactive workshop, Ülane, who built her own cross-border ventures before joining the e-Residency team, will guide you through practical strategies for global expansion. You’ll learn how to structure your business for international growth, tap into EU opportunities, and operate with trust and efficiency. Whether you’re just starting or already scaling, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap for taking your business beyond borders.
