The EU and Japan have convened for their second Digital Partnership Council in Brussels, with a key aspect of their discussions being digital identity—as indicated by a newly signed Memorandum of Cooperation on digital identities and trust services.
The agreement aims to foster a mutual understanding of digital identity initiatives between the EU and Japan, potentially transforming e-commerce and business operations by simplifying procedures and increasing efficiency. It’s poised to facilitate the free flow of data with trust by leveraging cooperation and use cases based on the EU Digital Identity Wallet and related trust services.
