- Regulatory frameworks
- European directives (e.g. GDPR, PSD2, EIDAS)
- Technological drivers
- Competitive environment
- Market dynamics
European Identity Group – Vision:
“We, the European operators, are leveraging together our mobile assets to enable secure and trusted identity ecosystems enhancing and protecting our customers’ experience in the digital world.”
