eIDAS Summit 2026

Description

Whether it’s public services, contract signing, or ticket validation – digital services and processes have become indispensable in business and public administration. They must not only be efficient and user-friendly but also secure and trustworthy. The eIDAS Regulation establishes the legal framework for the secure and cross-border exchange of Digital Identities and Trust Services within the EU.

Businesses can leverage electronic identification tools to securely and efficiently handle offers, orders, and contracts in a digital format. The introduction of the EUDI Wallet allows citizens to digitally identify themselves, store credentials such as certificates and tickets, and access public services across the EU. This opens up new opportunities for both the economy and public administration.

Discover how to digitise paper-based transactions, operational processes, and business workflows with trust services and digital identities at Bitkom's eIDAS Summit. Germany's leading conference on Digital Trust & Identity will bring together experts from politics, business, and technology for a digital, cross-industry and interactive exchange on 28 April 2026.

At #eidas26, we will take stock of eIDAS 2.0, analyse its impact on business and society, and discuss the next steps for its implementation. The diverse programme offers political keynotes, practical workshops, best-practice examples, and concrete recommendations from across the EU.
