Real conversations. No vendor pitches. A programme built around questions that actually keep people up at night.
🤝
What is Digital Trust?
Why "trust" isn't just a feature or a checkbox — it's a relationship. What builds it, what breaks it, and who decides.
🪪
Your Identity, Your Rules
The European Digital Identity Wallet, eIDAS 2.0, and self-sovereign identity: what it means to finally own your own credentials — and what it means for anyone who needs to verify them.
🔗
The Identity Ecosystem
IAM, digital certificates, and the invisible infrastructure behind every login, signature, and transaction. How it holds together — and where it doesn't.
🤖
Agentic AI & Trust
AI agents that book, decide, sign, and transact on your behalf — autonomously. Who is legally responsible? Can an AI have a verified identity? Can it sign a contract? The frontier nobody has figured out yet.
✍️
Qualified Trust Services & QTSPs
Behind every legally binding digital signature is a Qualified Trust Service Provider accredited under eIDAS. Who they are, what they guarantee, and why they're the quiet backbone of digital Europe.
🏦
KYC, KYB & Digital Onboarding
Verifying who your customer is — quickly, compliantly, and without friction. How eIDAS 2.0 changes the game for fintechs doing identity checks at scale.
🔍
AML in the Digital Age
The EU AML Regulation and the new AMLA authority are reshaping compliance obligations across financial services. What changes, what stays hard, and how technology helps.
🛡️
DORA: Resilience for Financial Services
The Digital Operational Resilience Act is live — and aimed squarely at banks, payment institutions, fintechs, and crypto providers. Practical steps for organisations still catching up.
⚙️
RegTech: Compliance That Actually Works
Technology that turns regulatory obligations from a burden into a competitive edge. From automated monitoring to audit trails — how smart fintechs are building compliance in, not on.
🪞
Deepfakes, Fraud & Synthetic Identity
Fraudsters now generate convincing faces, voices, and documents on demand. How financial institutions detect synthetic identities — and rebuild confidence in digital onboarding.
💳
Open Finance & PSD3
The next wave of open banking is here. PSD3 and the Financial Data Access framework raise the bar on consent, security, and trust between financial institutions and their customers.
🌉
Digital Trust Across Borders
Bulgaria, the Netherlands, and the EU single digital market. Where cross-border financial services work seamlessly — and where the friction still is.
📬
Data Sovereignty
GDPR, the Data Act, and what "control" actually means when your data lives in five jurisdictions. Especially relevant for any business operating across EU borders.
⚛️
Post-Quantum Cryptography
"Harvest now, decrypt later" — adversaries are already collecting encrypted data to crack once quantum computers mature. NIST standards are out. The migration clock is ticking and most organisations haven't started.
🔑
Passkeys & the Passwordless Future
Over a billion people already use passkeys. Passwords are dying — finally. What this means for customer onboarding, authentication UX, and the security posture of every digital product.
📱
The Wallet Wars
Your identity, payment card, driving licence, and health record — all on your phone, in one wallet. The eIDAS wallet, Apple, Google, and verifiable credentials are colliding. Who controls the infrastructure of everyday trust?
