Europe’s largest festival for the digital society brings together thought leaders, innovators, and institutions from the worlds of politics, technology, and civil society. SPRIND is participating again this year and is bringing two key topics to Berlin: the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI-Wallet) and the Germany, what's up? initiative, which calls for bold ideas to be embraced by the government and invites citizens to collaborate on further developing public administration, education, and social systems.

On Monday, May 18, the EUDI Wallet project will be the focus of two lightning talks followed by a meet-up.

On Wednesday, May 20, SPRIND will bring Germany, what's up? on stage with a session followed by a meet-up.

Come by and let’s talk together about how digital sovereignty and German innovative strength can be combined.
