Entreprises d’identité, unissez-vous! French MoU unites EUDI Wallet stakeholders

Dozens of firms and public authorities have agreed to work together on the launch of France’s implementation of the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet.

The businesses signing a Memorandum of Understanding represent an ecosystem committed to adapting their processes and solutions to work with the EUDI Wallet. The agreement also includes France Titres, which operates under the country’s Ministry of the Interior, the ID Campus, which just launched under iDAKTO’s leadership and the urban community of Angers Loire Métropole. iDAKTO is also the technology partner for public digital identity service France Identité.

There are more than 70 signatory organizations, in all, many of them familiar to Biometric Update readers. Atos, CLR Labs, Coppernic, Elyctis, Fime, Hopae, id3, Infineon, Linxens, Namirial, the Secure Identity Alliance, Sopra Steria, Thales and Unissey are among them.

All are planning to create a “wallet-ready” ecosystem ahead of the anticipated 2027 launch of the digital wallet to ease the transition. France Titres has committed to keep them appraised of regulatory developments, technical specifications and other ongoing work in the area, and to take their feedback into account to align proposed solutions and market needs.

“The signatories are coordinating their communication efforts to raise awareness among citizens, as well as public and private stakeholders, with a view to the widespread adoption of the digital identity wallet, which represents a fundamental gain in terms of security, digital trust and the protection of personal data and public freedoms,” the MoU says, as machine-translated.
