Experience the vibe from Idura Connect 2024

What are the next steps for digital wallets in Europe? On November 13th, 2024, we hosted our live conference, Idura Connect, at Bremen Teater in Copenhagen, trying to answer that question.

The main topic was "A Nordic Perspective on Digital Wallets” where we invited European identity experts to share their insights on eIDAS 2.0 and the future of national wallets. We also demoed our own web wallet for the first time, focusing on a simpler and safer identity verification experience.

We invited the CEO of BankID BankAxept, Øyvind Westby Brekke, to share his perspective on the evolving market for electronic identities (eID) in Europe. Øyvind spoke from a Norwegian perspective about the balance between digital inclusion and exclusion, as well as the role that regulation plays in fostering trust.

Mikkel Storm Jensen is a Military Analyst at the Institute for Strategy and War Studies, where he researches cyber conflict and strategy, including the use of the cyber domain in interstate conflict and competition at a strategic level. Furthermore, he focuses on the state's role in ensuring that society has sufficient resilience against cyber attacks and incidents.

Peter Gregersen is the lead designer at Vipps MobilePay and managed the introduction of Vipps in MobilePay’s user experience and interface.

Torsten Lodderstedt is a Digital Identity Architect who currently works for the German Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIN-D) as project lead & lead architect of Germany’s EU Digital Identity Wallet project. He also serves as technical advisor at the OpenWallet Foundation.

Niels Flensted-Jensen is the CEO of Idura, and gave the first demo of our own web wallet. The wallet leverages MitID’s security, but allows users to verify their identity without needing to use MitID every time.
