Governance
The Catawba Digital Economic Zone is governed by a Zone Authority formed by the Catawba citizens. The Zone Authority is the entity in charge of creating and enforcing regulations within the CDEZ. The regulations apply to companies domiciled virtually and/or physically within the CDEZ.
Who should incorporate in the CDEZ?
The CDEZ's commercial code is suitable to any industry. We have, however, specialized in an industry that needs a clear regulator the most: digital assets.
