TeleTrusT Workshop 2024: Dr. Andre Kudra on Trust Ecosystems in a Global Context

At the TeleTrusT Workshop 2024, which took place on June 26th and 27th, our CIO Dr. Andre Kudra, board member of TeleTrusT, gave an insightful keynote speech on the development of trust ecosystems in Europe and worldwide. Under the provocative title "Out of the bubble", he highlighted the pressing challenges and priorities that Europe needs to address in this area.

Out of the bubble: a wake-up call for Europe.

In his presentation, Andre made it clear that Europe cannot remain in an isolated bubble when it comes to implementing the eIDAS 2.0 regulation and building trust ecosystems. With a clear view of the global situation, he explained that the world is not waiting for Europe to complete its regulatory projects. Rather, other countries and regions are pursuing their own priorities and strategies, some of which differ significantly from the European approach. This recognition is crucial for Europe to remain internationally competitive and to maintain its role in the global context.

Comparing global trust ecosystems

Our colleague Andre used his presentation to compare different trust ecosystems around the world and analyze their strengths and weaknesses. It became clear that it is important for Europe not only to look at its own progress, but also to learn from international developments. In particular, he emphasized the importance of interoperability and the need to align with global standards to strengthen its own position.

Conclusion: Europe must face global competition

Dr. Andre Kudra's presentation at the TeleTrusT Workshop 2024 was a clear wake-up call for Europe to not only focus on its own developments, but also to think outside the box. This is the only way to ensure that Europe does not fall behind in the global competition for secure and trustworthy digital identities. The presentation, which is now available online, provides valuable insights and food for thought on how to face these challenges and find your own way in an international context.
