EUDI: Deep Dive With YOUNIQX Into The Silent Revolution of Digital ID in Europe

A quiet revolution is currently underway: the EU Digital
Identity Wallet (EUDI) is a technology that will
completely change how we deal with digital identity in Europe,
both in our private lives and in business. In this podcast with



Sebastian Zehetbauer, Chief Product Officer at
youniqx Identity AG


Stefan Vogl, Chief Technology Officer at
youniqx Identity AG



we want to discuss opportunities and challenges of this new
technology for digital identity in Europe. The topics:



youniqx Identity origins: From first
experiments in 2012 to pioneering digital ID solutions across
Liechtenstein and Austria with millions of users


Real-world adoption today: Driver's licenses
and vehicle registration dominate Austrian use cases, while
Liechtenstein processes 150 daily transactions for online
authentication


Privacy by design: How EUDI wallet stores data
decentralized on smartphones


Business transformation ahead: End-to-end
digital processes unlock KYC automation, hotel check-ins, car
rentals, and youth protection - opening access to 500 million
EU citizens


Austria's frontrunner advantage: Early
e-government leadership since the 2000s positions Austrian
companies to capitalize on EUDI integration before competitors


Interoperability through standards: ISO
protocols and the Architecture Reference Framework ensure 27
member states build compatible wallets


Timeline reality check: Legal deadline hits
end of 2026, but expect phased rollout over 2-3 years with
early movers gaining market position
