Etiqueta News: Digital Identity

Most conversations about digital identity start from an assumption that’s rarely said out loud: that internet connectivity is stable, that service counters are close by, that population density turns infrastructure distribution into a problem solved by default. That’s a reasonable assumption in many European contexts. It simply doesn’t hold for a country like Cabo Verde — ten islands scattered across the Atlantic, where the distance between a citizen and the nearest public service can mean a boat trip, not a walk into town.

Two days. Dozens of conversations. One consistent theme: the distance between policy ambition and operational reality is still significant and the organisations closing that gap are the ones worth watching.

Caixa Mágica Software had the pleasure of participating in Identity Week Europe 2025 in Amsterdam. One of Europe’s leading events dedicated to digital identity, biometrics and trust technologies.
