Mission

We believe that the digital revolution should benefit all. As a core element, digital identity is necessary for the enjoyment of nearly all civil and political rights, access to services, engaging in all types of online transactions, and socio-economic inclusion in general. 

By supporting the creation of digital identities we promote four interrelated opportunities for growth: 

1. The Movement of People (e.g. assisting labour, families and marginalised groups to cross borders),
2. The Movement of Data (e.g. enabling data pooling and sharing, cross-border credit scoring),
3. The Movement of Money (e.g. accessing bank accounts, enabling cross-border payments), and
4. The Movement of Goods (e.g. boosting e-commerce, facilitating continental free trade initiatives)
5. The Provision of Services (e.g. gig-economy, online services, eSignatures)

We work towards a balanced system that maximises opportunities whilst ensuring data privacy, promoting fair value among participants, and fostering competition and innovation. 

Established as a not-for-profit Swiss Association, we are a diverse team of international experts working to promote the Sustainable Development Goals, and in particular fairness, inclusion, sustainability, and efficiency in the digital transformation.
