estoniaDigital-savvy Estonia, which issued electronic identification cards for its citizens more than a decade ago, is seeking a PR firm to help promote its e-residency project in the US.

The eastern European Baltic state is the first nation to offer "e-residency," a digital identity for world citizens interested in establishing a location-independent business online.

E-residents may establish businesses, conduct banking services and handle tax matters via the Estonian program.

Estonia, a former part of the Soviet Union and current NATO member, established the e-residency program to grow its economy and attract investment.

Another benefit: make the 1.3M-population country "bigger" on the world's stage.

Information about the eight-month program to promote the e-residency program is available at https://riigihanked.riik.ee/register/hange/163791. Reference number is 163791.
