Citizenship always used to be all in and on one country. As people are more and more fluid in the services they get and where they get them from it is inevitable there is going to be a separation of digital, physical, healthcare and even government services. Imagine living in Fiji and getting services from Estonia with an e residency. A global fluidity in business and consumer freedom could become the norm. While the idea may not be completely new, the scale and scope of what our speaker today, the CIO of Estonia is suggesting is radical. This idea could make e-residency as much as 1%+ of the Estonian economy.   It is a vital recognition of the shift in how we think about the world in a digital way. Opening up a digital economy to global citizens re shapes the nature of government, economies and the ideas of citizenship.
