The rollout of the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet marks a major step toward secure, interoperable, and citizen-centric digital identity across the EU. Germany’s advanced sandbox phase offers valuable insights into how technical, organizational, and regulatory elements align in practice. This talk will outline Germany’s path from controlled testing to nationwide deployment, highlighting the key principles and mechanisms for a successful EUDI Wallet launch. We will present the current status, including sandbox outcomes, stakeholder collaboration, interoperability testing, and governance alignment with EU frameworks. Building on these foundations, we will address our strategy to transition from sandbox to production and share our strategy for a smooth successful rollout through close cooperation between public authorities, industry partners and (technical) expert communities.
