In this next exciting meet up we will hear from the governments themselves what they are doing for our digital identities. Did you know that Estonia is currently one of the leading digital identity frontiers? Primarily because of its highly-developed mandatory national ID card system, that also provides citizens with access to all of Estonia’s e-services! To talk more about the Estonian identity initiative, is Florian Marcus https://www.linkedin.com/in/florianmarcus91/
Finland, which like many European nations has recently seen a large influx of asylum seekers. Their digital money system is using blockchain to kickstart the financial life of refugees, and to talk about this solution is Jouko Salonen from the finish government, immigration service; https://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.jouko.salonen
