There a few countries that are already ahead of the United States in some technological areas of adoption; one we happen to be very familiar is digital IDs. Adoption is one of the key struggles of blockchain based businesses and educating regulators and business owners of the cost savings and benefits it can provide. But, sometimes the best fight can be done in channels that already have the door wide open for improvements.

The Estonian Police and Border Guard has added two new locations for collecting e-Residency digital ID cards — Seoul in the Republic of Korea and Bucharest in Romania. You can now select these options from the drop down list of pick up locations on the e-Residency application form.

The e-residents must collect their IDs in person, the verifier or “auditor” will be the trusted “e-residency center.” South Korea was one of the first to be chosen for this concept. There is an existing high demand there for e-residency and they are partners in the D5 group of advanced digital nations. South Koreans are highly entrepreneurial, enjoy some of the world’s fastest internet and are more likely to shop online than anywhere in the world.

Bridge recently announced our partnership with TrueBlocks, based out of South Korea. They are one of the leading incubators of blockchain and new, emerging technology. We are creating some very unique go-to market strategies and tours to educate and bring digital IDs to a market that is willing to digitalize as much as possible.

We also believe e-Residency provides some of the best ways to run a trusted location with minimal cost. We are hoping South Korea will be one of the first adopters of a blockchain e-ID!
