Listen our podcast on

In this episode, we speak to Miguel Angel Calero Fernández, Executive Director of ISBE – Spain’s Blockchain Services Infrastructure – about the European digital identity framework under eIDAS 2.0 and the EUDIWallet, exploring how this model aims to give citizens greater control over their data and what has changed compared to the previous system.

Other topics we cover in the podcast include Spain’s position within the European landscape, the historical challenges of widespread adoption of digital identity, and its growing use in the private sector (banking, telecommunications, digital platforms and the crypto economy). We pay particular attention to the latest developments regarding the BusinessWallet and the business opportunities it offers organisations using verifiable credentials.
