EIMF: The Hidden Power of the EUDI Wallet – What Every Professional Must Know

The EIMF European Institute Of Management And Finance presents the specialised programme “eIDAS 2.0 and the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI): A New Legal and Trust Framework for Europe”, a focused training designed for legal, regulatory, and technology professionals who want to truly understand the new era of digital identity and trust in the EU. The seminar offers a structured overview of the updated framework, turning complex regulation into clear, applicable knowledge for practice.

A New Chapter in EU Digital Trust

With eIDAS 2.0 and the introduction of the European Digital Identity Wallet, the EU is reshaping how citizens, businesses, and public authorities authenticate, sign and transact online. The new regulation moves far beyond its predecessor, laying the foundations for a trusted, interoperable Digital Single Market where digital identity is recognised seamlessly across borders. Participants will explore how the legal objectives of eIDAS 2.0 tie directly to strategic EU priorities and what this means in real terms for their organisation.

From eIDAS 1.0 to eIDAS 2.0: What has Really Changed?

One of the core themes of the programme is the evolution from eIDAS 1.0 to eIDAS 2.0. The training explains the key differences in scope, newly introduced and expanded trust services, and the broader ambition of the revised regulation. Rather than looking at the law in isolation, the course examines how the updated framework supports cross-border digital services, secure online interactions and the growth of trusted digital ecosystems. Participants will gain clarity on concepts such as EUid / e-ID and how these instruments are intended to operate in practice.

The EUDI Wallet at the Centre of the Digital Identity Ecosystem

At the heart of eIDAS 2.0 lies the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet). The programme dedicates significant time to unpack its architecture, functionalities and role within the wider ecosystem of users, issuers and relying parties. Topics include security and privacy features, cross-border interoperability, open-source approaches and the wallet’s potential use cases in financial services, telecoms, healthcare, e-government and beyond. The aim is to move participants from abstract understanding to a concrete sense of how the EUDI Wallet will be implemented and used.

Implementation, Compliance and Supervision

Beyond the legal text, organisations must understand what it takes to become eIDAS 2.0 compliant. The seminar addresses implementation pathways, roles and responsibilities of relying parties, requirements around interoperability, testing and certification, as well as supervision, monitoring and enforcement. Special attention is given to data protection, security safeguards and accountability, helping participants see how eIDAS 2.0 aligns with – and differs from – other EU regulatory instruments such as GDPR.

Benefits, Challenges and the Road ahead

The programme does not overlook the bigger picture. It highlights the concrete benefits that eIDAS 2.0 can bring to citizens, businesses and governments, while also addressing the challenges and risks of implementation. Participants are encouraged to reflect on where opportunities lie for their own sector and how the future of digital identity in Europe may evolve beyond the current framework, both technically and regulatorily.
