Exporting Trust: EUDI Beyond the EU [Introductory]

The EUDI Regulation is one of the most ambitious digital trust frameworks ever built. Although it was designed from the ground up to facilitate cross-border interoperability, the irony is that this trust effectively stops at the borders of the EU. This represents a missed opportunity on both sides: for third countries looking to gain access to EU digital markets, and for EU market players looking for opportunities beyond an already saturated EU market.

This talk looks at how the World Bank is working to build on the EUDI model to export trust to other regions, helping countries align with the EU model while also facilitating its adaptation to other contexts with different capacities, priorities, and starting points.
