Bold Ideas from Japan, Going Global
Estonian e-Residency gives Japan entrepreneurs and startups the tools to run a 100% online European business from the comfort of their home. No bureaucracy, no paperwork, no visiting Estonia, no local director, and only €0.01 in share capital is required to get started.
Discover Europe’s trusted digital ecosystem, access cross-border markets, and build a business that is born global. Whether you’re an individual entrepreneur, a tech innovator, or a growing startup, Estonia gives you the digital tools, legal clarity, and community support to succeed anywhere, on your terms, and the credibility to grow it globally.
What is the e-Residency?
Estonia’s e-Residency is a government-issued digital identity that gives entrepreneurs around the world — including in Japan — the ability to start and run an EU-based company entirely online. With just a secure digital ID, you can access Estonia’s trusted digital infrastructure, manage your business remotely, sign documents, and connect with a global network of like-minded founders. It’s the easiest way to go international — without leaving home.
This event isn’t just an event — it’s a launchpad for new connections, bold ideas and future collaborations. Estonia’s e-Residency brings together over 130,000 entrepreneurs from 178+ countries, and now it’s opening up new possibilities right here in Japan. As part of this growing digital community, you have the chance to connect with like-minded pioneers, exchange experiences and spark partnerships that go beyond borders. The conversations you start this evening could shape the next chapter of your business journey — so let’s build something great, together.
