When it came to choosing the perfect home for Orukami, our 100% remote and digital-first company, Estonia stood out as the ideal location. Known globally as a pioneer in digital innovation and e-governance, Estonia provides a thriving ecosystem that empowers tech companies like ours to grow and succeed. Here’s why we made this choice and what it means for our clients and partners.
A Leader in Digital Innovation
Estonia has earned its reputation as one of the most digitally advanced nations in the world. It was the first country to offer e-Residency, a government-issued digital identity that allows entrepreneurs to start and manage a business online from anywhere on the globe. This level of innovation is ingrained in every aspect of the country’s operations, making it incredibly efficient for businesses to function and thrive.
For Orukami, being based in a country where technology drives daily life aligns perfectly with our mission. Estonia’s forward-thinking policies and infrastructure support our vision of leveraging artificial intelligence in a way that’s seamless, transparent, and effective. As BBC has noted, Estonia is a global leader in e-governance, setting an example for the rest of the world.
A Digital Infrastructure Built for Remote Work
Estonia’s digital infrastructure is a dream come true for remote-first companies. With nearly all government services available online, from registering a company to signing documents and filing taxes, Estonia makes running a business as smooth and efficient as possible. This level of accessibility allows us at Orukami to focus on what we do best—developing innovative AI projects and offering top-notch AI consultancy—without getting bogged down by administrative hassles.
Moreover, Estonia’s strong commitment to cybersecurity ensures that our digital operations remain secure and protected. The country’s advanced data protection measures give us peace of mind, knowing that our sensitive information and our clients’ data are safeguarded. According to Wired, Estonia is one of the most secure digital societies, setting high standards for data security and online services.
An Ecosystem That Nurtures Innovation
Estonia’s tech ecosystem is vibrant and rapidly growing. The country is home to a thriving startup community, with success stories like Skype, TransferWise (now Wise), and Bolt originating here. This innovative spirit is contagious and motivates us to keep pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve. Estonia’s support for startups, in the form of funding opportunities and collaboration networks, creates an environment where ideas flourish and businesses can scale efficiently.
The country also offers an impressive talent pool and a collaborative tech community, making it easy to connect with like-minded innovators. At Orukami, we value the spirit of collaboration and creativity, and Estonia’s ecosystem aligns with these values perfectly.
A Culture Open to Experimentation
Estonia’s willingness to experiment with new technologies makes it a fertile ground for companies like Orukami. Whether it’s blockchain-based services or advancements in AI and automation, the government actively supports technological experimentation and development. This progressive approach encourages us to continuously innovate and deliver cutting-edge solutions to our clients.
The Future with Estonia
Being based in Estonia isn’t just a strategic decision; it’s a testament to our commitment to embracing the future. The country’s digital-first approach empowers Orukami to operate with agility, efficiency, and a strong focus on innovation. As we continue to grow and explore new AI projects, Estonia provides the ideal foundation for our journey.
