The event will bring together top-level decision makers to share experiences, business cases and good practices to learn how to best leverage the opportunities of trust services in the new eIDAS Regulation. These include electronic signatures, seals, registered delivery services, time stamps and certificates for website authentication.

The day will start with the award ceremony of the e-Mark U Trust Competition, which will be hosted by European Commission Vice-President Andrus Ansip (@Ansip_EU).

The second part of the day will illustrate the value of electronic trust services in enabling trust and convenience on-line and will focus particularly on three business sectors with a high potential for the use of trust services:

Insurance
