PILOT PROJECTS
Large Scale Pilots are test driving the specifications of EU Digital
Identity Wallets in a wide range of use cases, before their roll-out
to Member States. Learn more about who they are and the work they are
doing.

Large Scale Pilot projects are testing the EU
Digital Identity Wallet before its roll-out to Member
States. Two Large Scale Pilots are currently active, with four having concluded their work.
+11
every-day use cases for the EU Digital
Identity Wallet are being
tested by the Large Scale Pilots.
550
private companies and public authorities
across 26 Member States, as well as Norway, Iceland, and
Ukraine, are participating in the Large Scale Pilots.
Two new EU co-funded Consortia began in 2025. They gather Member States, public authorities, SMEs, major European enterprises and global leaders in the digital identity ecosystem. They seek to encourage public and private sector collaboration while developing the standards and technical documentation needed to make the EUDI ecosystem secure and interoperable. APTITUDE will test EUDI Wallets across a wide range of use cases, including travel and mobile vehicle registration certificates. They will demonstrate the interoperability, usability, and scalability of EUDI Wallets while actively promoting the benefits of the ecosystem. WE BUILD is focusing on business and payment use cases that streamline processes for business to business (B2B), business to government (B2G) and business to consumer (B2C) interactions. Each Pilot is testing EU Digital Identity Wallets in a variety of everyday scenarios relevant to Europeans. The results of their tests will be shared to further improve security, interoperability, and the design of the wallets. Discover how the use cases being tested will simplify your day-to-day life. Use your wallet to store and present tickets, like for public transportation, and check-in to hotels and other services.
Keep your vehicle certification safe in your wallet, ready to present whenever it’s needed.
Digital versions of credentials like passports, ready to be used. Banks will be enabled to use wallets to enact strong customer authentication. Enabling B2B and B2G transactions. Enabling businesses to streamline processes and reduce costs by using wallets. In 2022 the Digital Europe Programme — an EU funding programme focused on bringing digital technology to businesses, citizens and public administrations — put out a call to launch Pilot projects for the EU Digital Identity Wallet. Four Large Scale Pilot projects began in April 2023, with more to come in the future.
The European Commission, and Member States, are together providing
the specifications and guidelines needed to build the EU Digital
Identity Wallet with
the EU Digital Identity Wallet Toolbox.
The Large Scale Pilots are building on the specifications detailed
in the Toolbox and the Reference Implementation, and will pilot and
test the wallet in a variety of everyday use cases. Feedback from
the Pilot projects will inform the next versions of the Toolbox.
The end result of this process will be a well-tested open code base
for the wallet, that will be used by Member States to build their
own wallets.
Safe and easy digital identification for everyone in Europe. Safe and easy digital identification for everyone in Europe.

POTENTIAL aims to foster innovation, collaboration and growth in six
digital identity sectors — governmental services, banking,
telecommunications, mobile driving licenses, electronic signatures,
and health.
The EU Digital Wallet Consortium (EWC) is a joint effort to
successfully leverage the benefits of the proposed EU digital
identity in the form of Digital Travel Credentials across the Member
States. The EWC intends to build on the reference wallet application
to enable a use case focused on Digital Travel Credentials.
DC4EU provides tangible support to the public and private sectors in
the educational and social security sectors by deploying and
accessing state-of-the-art trans-European interoperable digital
service infrastructures and their integration in a cross-border
trust framework.
NOBID is a set of Nordic and Baltic countries who, together with
Italy and Germany, will pilot the use of the EU Digital Identity
Wallet for the authorisation of payments for products and services
by the wallet user.
