EU Business Wallet: What You Need to Know About the EU’s Digital ID for Companies [Live Event]

We hosted a deep-dive session with two people directly involved in shaping and implementing the EU Business Wallet initiative: Viky Manaila, Trust Services Director at Intesi Group, and Rob Brand, Senior Policy Officer at the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs and Co-Coordinator of the WE BUILD Consortium.

The session explored what the EU Business Wallet is designed to do, why it matters for businesses of all sizes, and how it builds on eIDAS 2 and the European Digital Identity framework. We covered the regulatory proposal itself, the role of trust service providers, mandatory public-sector acceptance, and the real-world use cases being tested today through large-scale pilots.
