Revolutionizing Digital Identity: eIDAS 2.0 and Authologic's OmniID Platform

A $20B+ industry built on document scans and selfies is facing an existential challenge, and it impacts all of us 🌍

For years, the standard approach for identity infrastructure has been straightforward: scan a document, take a selfie, and analyse the image. AI has made that increasingly unreliable, with deepfakes bypassing liveness checks and synthetic identities passing document validation. The entire foundation that this industry was built on is under serious pressure.

That's where eIDAS 2.0 comes in. The European Digital Identity Regulation requires every business operating in Europe to accept government-issued EU Digital Identity Wallets by 2027. On paper, it sounds straightforward, but in practice, it means 27 member states each building their own implementation, with diverging formats, attribute sets, and approval processes. And that's before accounting for the existing layer of national eID schemes and BankIDs already in use across Europe, each with their own standards and integrations, sitting between legacy document checks and the new wallet infrastructure.

This is precisely the problem Authologic is built to solve. Their OmniID platform connects every wallet, every national eID, and every market through a single API, and unlike most players in this space, they are already certified, integrated, and live. And for Authologic, Europe is just the beginning: digital identity is accelerating globally, from mobile driver's licenses in the US to national schemes in, for example, the UAE, UK, and Singapore. Authologic is built to cover all of it!

We invested in Authologic because the old identity infrastructure is failing and the regulatory clock is ticking. Looking forward to seeing where Krzysztof Klimczak, Jarek Sygitowicz, and Marek Rogozinski take this! 🚀
