The eIDAS2 Digital ID race with winners and stragglers
Germany, Italy, Estonia, and Poland are leading the charge in implementing digital IDs under eIDAS2, with well-developed pilot projects already in place.

Without a unified eIDAS2 adoption, the promise of a seamless, secure European digital identity experience may be lost.
