Our goal is to create new breakthrough innovations from Germany. That means products, services and systems that make all of our lives noticeably and sustainably better. To do this, we connect new thinkers from science and business, people with outstanding ideas, special expertise and passion. Within the EUDI Wallet project, which SPRIND is implementing on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Digitalization and State Modernization (BMDS), we are developing Germany’s national EUDI wallet as well as a comprehensive EUDI Wallet ecosystem. Digital credentials are a key building block for a high-performing digital society, a competitive economy, and a modern state. The EUDI wallet provides people with a secure, interoperable, and user-centric solution, enabling them to manage both public and private credentials – from ID cards to certificates and membership cards. In the medium term, the project will transition into a newly established, government-owned entity that will take over responsibility for the EUDI ecosystem and ensure the platform’s ongoing development and operation.
