You certainly have heard about startup-wonderland Estonia, a country with the highest number of unicorns, startups and investments per capita in Europe and one of the world’s fastest and most vibrant ecosystems. But did you know that it takes you 15 minutes to start a company in Europe 100% online via Estonian e-Residency? Or that Startup Estonia provides you with Startup Visa and the Scale Up Visa with the flexibility to hire or even move to Europe after establishing your startup in Brazil.
Startup Estonia and e-Recidency are in Brazil this week to make all these Estonian superpowers more reachable in Brazil. At the three events, e-Residents from Brazil share their experience about expanding their opportunities through their European company. Startup founders will share his journey to Estonia. The associate lawyers will guide how to answer about the precautions when opening a company in Estonia while in Brazil. Whether an e-Resident or not, you are welcome to meet the e-Residency and Startup Estonia teams for drinks, food and networking.
