As you may be aware, the European Union is introducing significant changes to regulations around digital identity, privacy, and digital wallets this year. These regulations will profoundly impact the way businesses and individuals manage their digital identities and conduct transactions online. This RWOT design workshop offers an invaluable opportunity to influence the future of these regulatory changes by collaborating with leading experts in the field.
