Panel: Real-World Examples of How Smart Wallets will Transform how we Navigate our Digital World

In this session we will describe a future where a digital wallet could empower every citizen with their own data and help them safely navigate a data-driven AI-powered world, with privacy-preserving features that can protect themselves, their identity, and their data. We will show how this future is being built today, meticulously step-by-step, through innovations that are happening across a wide variety of organizations and use cases, but which are all built on the basic principles of decentralized identity, verifiable credentials, data sovereignty, and trust networks. We will share stories of companies that are leaning into this decentralization movement and embracing the concept of empowering individuals with their own data so they can realize new personalized user experiences, less fraud, and more streamlined business processes. We will also demonstrate how the value to individuals is significantly amplified as they move through different contexts from citizen to worker to traveller.
