European Web3 Flagship Projects

Join us at Howest Bruges' newest campus for a unique opportunity to learn first-hand from some of Europe's most innovative Web3 projects.
We're very excited to welcome distinguished speakers at the forefront of their domains: finance, provenance, and digital credentials.

There will be plenty of opportunities to network and discuss with fellow Web3 professionals and enthusiasts, while enjoying delicious finger foods. We hope to welcome you!

19:00 - 19:30 Digital Product Passport
Alla Aboudaka - Protokol

19:30 - 20:00 DC4EU: Digital Credentials for Europe in Belgium
Daniël Du Seuil - Howest

The implementation of the new European Digital Identity wallet will be tested via four large-scale pilots (LSP). Howest is a pilot partner in the LSP DC4EU: Digital Credentials for Europe project which is focussing on education and social security. DC4EU will test the use of verifiable credentials and decentralized registries supported by EBSI. In this session we will share the first learnings and results and discuss the ways to interact with other important stakeholders in the Belgian EUDI ecosystem. We also discuss the link and compatibility between EUDI wallets and SSI/EBSI compliant wallets.

20:00 - 21:00 Networking
Next to the interesting talks, one of the most valuable parts of a Meetup is your presence! Connect with attendees while enjoying tasty fingerfoods and drinks served by Howest.
