The European Business Wallet: Why It Matters and How It Powers the EUDI Ecosystem

This presentation explores the pivotal role of the Business Wallet in the European Digital Identity (EUDI) framework. While much attention has focused on the EUDI Wallet for natural persons, the success of the entire ecosystem depends on the participation of organisations — as issuers, verifiers, and service providers. Through real-world use cases and lessons from the EWC Large Scale Pilots, we demonstrate how Business Wallets enable trusted digital workflows across borders. From issuing legal person credentials to verifying mandates and approving payments, the Business Wallet simplifies complexity and makes digital trust operational. Key themes include: How EUDI Wallet holders rely on organisations for trusted credentials The difference between natural person wallets and business wallets The role of issuers, verifiers, and relying parties in a decentralised ecosystem How Business Wallets enable payments, delegated authority, and cross-border trust Real demos of credential-based payments using the EUDI Wallet and Business Wallet Integration with trust services like LPID, QTSPs, QEAAs, and EU Trust Lists The wallet technology is ready. The trust framework is active. Business Wallets are the key to unlocking adoption across sectors.
