How Identity Digital’s Partnership with Anguilla Diversifies the Island’s Economy

For decades, Anguilla’s economy has relied heavily on tourism and financial services, two sectors that took a heavy hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. But in recent years, the growing demand for .AI domains has proven to be a valuable resource for the country, helping to stabilize the island’s economy and significantly diversify its financial system on a global scale.

Our Role in Supporting & Diversifying Anguilla’s Digital Economy

As demand for .AI increases, so does its importance to Anguilla’s economic recovery and future. The Government of Anguilla (GOA) is in a unique position to benefit from this global interest in AI, and recognizes that the TLD and each .AI domain must be managed with care.

Identity Digital provides the necessary infrastructure and capabilities to enhance the sustainability and resilience of the TLD, enabling the Anguillian community to leverage its digital assets for long-term prosperity. These endeavors will continue to bolster its economy for years to come.

The rise of .AI has also opened doors for local entrepreneurs in Anguilla. Several businesses launched around domain registration, brokerage services, and consulting, helping to facilitate the increasing volume of .AI transactions. This helps cultivate a local digital economy, providing valuable opportunities to Anguillans to develop tech expertise and engage in the rapidly growing AI industry. 

On a global scale, these ventures bring new business to the island, and help create a diversified financial system that will be more resilient in the face of global economic shifts. It positions Anguilla as an increasingly innovative economy—one that is no longer solely dependent on tourism and financial services.

A Sustainable Future for Anguilla’s Economy

By harnessing the global growth of AI and the .AI TLD via Identity Digital, Anguilla is not just recovering from past economic setbacks, it is positioning itself for a sustainable and prosperous future. As the world increasingly moves toward an AI-driven economy, Anguilla will be part of that global shift, capitalizing on a new and sustainable resource that will fuel long-term growth.

We look forward to continuing to work with GOA to help Anguilla leverage this digital transformation. Together, we are building a stronger, more connected future — one where technology serves as a force for good in both the global and local economy.
