why dice Europe?

The intention of DICE is to Foster collaboration and work together on the adoption of a dignified digital identity between governments, citizens, and companies across Europe. 

unConferences are particularly generative, with a facilitator we will co-create the agenda live each day of the event. There are no keynotes or panels, it’s all about exploring the topic with professional peers from a range of identity areas. Click here to learn more.

There are many reasons that secure identity systems are needed for connecting to others, tracking trade, supporting labor markets, and crossing borders.  Significant investments have been made into the development of interoperable standards, protocols, systems application layers, conceptual use cases, and more.

What critical Ecosystem success factors would you like to discuss with peers at DICE Ecosystems in March 2025?

  • Digital health
  • Interoperability and organization identity
  • Security of identity systems, VLEI, KERI, ACDCs
  • Governance and Adoption of SSI by the private sector
  • Business cases which work for all parties involved
  • Single country initiatives in the context of regional cooperation
  • Adoption of vLEI and KERI to facilitate the next generation token economy.
  • Delegation of Trust (different Trust Frameworks)
  • The (then) current state of wallet security and features
  • User Adoption from a user-centered point of view (and not company-speaking-in-the-name-of-there-customers-centered one)
  • ARF, updates on Swiss and EU wallets
  • Global interoperability, share own success stories
  • Education & research. Providing the digital identity for higher education. How to fuse ID with research?

What are you hoping to learn at DICE Ecosystems in March 2025?

  • Swiss E-ID trust infrastructure public beta
  • Regulatory updates and adoption
  • About progress toward SSI, avoidance of embedded surveillance
  • Status of development internationally. Solutions that work.
  • Customer needs, what can we do for them? Notably in health (insurance, government, clinics, pharma/medtech, trade associations)
  • Swiss initiatives in the EU context.
  • Discussing more customer needs
  • Learning about latest developments and ideas from the industry players
  • Getting new insights from the techies
  • Connecting with new people interested in the manifold topics of SSI and mutually inspire each other for the next steps
  • Other success stories, open challenges.
  • Insights in other sectors.
  • Networking.

What are the key friction points we must discuss and address, preventing large-scale adoption of verifiable credentials in key industries, and how can we jointly address them?

  • Awareness and education of key decision makers, starting with showcases as soon as practical
  • Educational outreach and more focus on business cases and value, we need to open up the discussion to external stakeholders and get them involved in the conversations.
  • Security limitations; mDL, eIDAS, and systems that enable surveillance
  • Governance and Adoption of SSI by the private sector. In more detail, how do we implement a trust layer both technically and organizationally? How do we achieve internationally exchangeable credential formats?
  • Convenience, reliability, simplicity
  • Succession of decades-long innovation cycle.
  • Ambient resolution.
  • I think at the moment - i.e., in this comparable with other technologies still early stage - many discussions are already often too money-driven instead of focused on the non-monetary values for prospect customers. At least balancing this both sides could be beneficial for boosting for example interoperability and in general new or adapted ideas. There could for example be session that focus on discussing opportunities and developments without considering monetary constraints (and gains) and the corresponding results then be infused into the "business cases" in follow up discussions. Just one thought.
  • Disruption to existing identity and data strategies. How to successfully apply this tech in horizon 1 2 3 scenarios.

What immediate steps do we need to discuss as a community in March, to guide meaningful progress until the next event in September 2025?

  • Outreach to key decision makers through commonly agreed manifesto
  • Opening up sandbox and interoperability opportunities
  • Security and privacy shortfalls of implementations
  • Commercially successful showcases (PoC of what can be done is good but not enough)
  • Interoperability between Trust Ecosystems (e.g. on a country but also on an industry level)
  • Security aspects of wallets and credentials on end user devices. Go past identity, to portable data and standard for interoperability
  • Government ID and roles of sectors
  • Disruption to existing identity and data strategies. How to successfully apply this tech in horizon 1 2 3 scenarios.
