eID: emerging business cases - Boosting uptake
By showcasing good practices and practical examples of how cross-border eID solutions at Member State and European levels can work, the European Commission will discuss the opportunities and challenges for business to benefit from the transformative nature and wide use potential of eID. The day will gather high-level business representatives across sectors to look together at the impact eID can have.
The discussions will aim to provide an overview of the concrete steps taken and the on-going work to improve regulatory alignment between the eIDAS Regulation and sector specific legislation. In this respect, the banking and finance sector will be in the spotlight with regard to the recent European Banking Authority's Discussion Paper on strong customer authentication as well as the Commission Green Paper on retail financial services.
The event will also provide an opportunity to discuss how the practical tools and funding available from the Commission to accelerate the take-up (such as the Digital Services Infrastructure developed under the Connected Europe Facility, CEF) will stimulate the cooperation and synergies between eID providers and innovative eID consuming businesses.
