Physical event

Helsingin Ekonomit English Business Network, co-hosting with FinTalks Finland, invite you to an engaging session on one of the biggest digital shifts coming to Europe.

We are joined by speakers from DVV (Digital and Population Data Services Agency), Nordea, and Hovi, bringing perspectives from government, banking, and digital services. Together, they’ll break down what the EU Digital Identity Wallet means for everyday life, work, and the future of digital identity in Finland.

By the end of 2026, Finland will roll out an EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet), a new way to prove who you are, access services, and share verified information securely. Finland’s wallet is already in development, and it will reshape how we bank, sign in to services, run businesses, and move across borders.

This session is designed to be clear, practical, and relevant for everyone - students, young professionals, entrepreneurs, and experienced leaders alike.

What to expect:

• Insights from DVV, Nordea, and Hovi on what’s coming
• Real examples of how the EUDI wallet will be used in Finland and across Europe
• A live demonstration of wallet capabilities
• A chance to understand how this change will impact both daily life and professional environments.
