For e-Residents
A festival to discover Estonia beyond “just business”
So you, just like us, have already chosen Estonia as a place to run your business. But this amazing little Northern European country has SOOOO much more to offer! Here’s your chance!
Many of EERICA’s board members have visited Estonia multiple times and have fallen in love with it, discovering Estonia’s “full package” through its wonderful people and unique experiences. Now we want to help as many e-Residents as humanly possible discover the same magic that we’ve found in Estonia!
Join hundreds of Estonians and e-Residents in Tallinn on <POSTPONED> to experience the Estonia that we came to know and love. Make life-long Estonian connections beyond just business and get 100 different reasons to come again!

For Estonians
A festival to share your love for Estonia with the world
You have heard many times the story of how Estonia is an international success. You might have also heard that over 60,000 entrepreneurial people (more than the population of Narva or Pärnu!) from 160+ countries have been interested in tiny Eesti so much that they became e-Residents, spending their time and money to get ID cards -- and start amazing businesses through Estonia.
However, you might have never had a chance to meet any of those people – and they have never had a chance to meet you! How about helping Estonia make 60,000 friends all over the globe by introducing your country and your culture to them, in person? For the first time ever, we are making this possible – and fun!
Join hundreds of e-Residents and Estonians in Tallinn on 29-31 May 2020 to share your love for Estonia with people who are hungry to learn more about Estonia. Make life-lasting connections with a highly diverse, international, and intelligent crowd and give those people 100 new reasons to spread the good word about Eesti in their home countries!

If you want to stay REALLY close, please book at Hotel Hector – it's a short trip to the main Festival venue, and they are offering a 15% discount for the Festival visitors with the EERICA20 promocode.
Lots of Airbnbs are also available around Tallinn to suit any kind of preferences you might have. However, note that late May is high season in Tallinn – so better book early!
Organizers
This festival is organized by EERICA, the Estonian e-Residents International Chamber Association.
We are a non-profit membership organization (MTÜ) created to represent and unite Estonian e-Resident business owners worldwide in order to help them make stronger connections and facilitate collaboration both among members and also with Estonian resident businesses.

Sponsors
The following Estonian organizations and individuals have kindly volunteered to help us organize the e-Residency Festival 2020 by donating their money, their employee time, and their know-how and connections. Without them, the festival wouldn’t be possible (and would definitely end up a much more boring event!) Here’s a huge “thank you” to all of you.
Aitäh!
