STOCKHOLM, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Scytáles AB
together with Netcompany-Intrasoft,
member of NETCOMPANY Group A/S, has been awarded the
much-anticipated European Digital Identity Wallet contract,
encompassing development, consultancy, and support services.
In 2021, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and following
announcements as early as 2020 by Commission President, the
European Commission announced its plans for a European Digital
Identity framework available to all EU citizens, residents, and
businesses.
The ultimate objective is a secure European e-identity,
available to all EU citizens, across the EU and across activities.
This would include digital identification means, electronic
signatures, validation of documents and would entail transparency
of data use.
The European Digital Identity Wallet will provide the benchmark
for secure and transparent digital identification across the EU,
ensuring at the same time the safety of the data that each citizen
provides. The benefits are multi-fold from ease of use to cost
reductions for businesses to cross-border transactions made
possible.
The wallet will be developed by Scytáles AB and Luxembourg-based consortium leader
Netcompany-Intrasoft and will be offered to Member States and other
stakeholders for implementing the requirements of the Regulation on
a framework for a European Digital Identity.
Mr. Konstantin Papaxanthis, CEO of
Scytáles AB: "Since the global pandemic the
digitalization of processes for both companies and public services
has made safe digital identification imperative. The EU Digital
Wallet will simplify daily life for EU citizens and businesses and
create growth opportunities for public and private services across
the EU. We are honored to have been awarded the EU Digital Wallet
contract with our reputable partner and proud that Scytáles' world
leading technology gets recognized."
