  • What is the most practical way to put an SSI wallet into the hands of busy, yet politically minded citizens who want to participate in modern, sovereign governance?
  • Use cases for digital legal entity identification and user roles
  • How can we verify the validity of verification? How do we trust complicated-looking algorithms and products? (They are probably broad questions about cryptography and digital identities rather than SSI-specific ones)
  • How close are we to achieving the reality of self-sovereign identity?
  • How wide is the gap between self-sovereign identity and general access to user-friendly mechanisms to take advantage of this concept?

  • How do we overcome the technology debt of existing centralized system to bring about decentralized solutions to ensure user-centric identity?
  • How Governments are getting involved and how they plan to bridge the gap between centralised and decentralized identity.
  • How to drive adoption by improving user experience
  • How to drive adoption when people are seemingly seeing SSI as a bad thing controlled by companies that don’t have their users’ rights or privacy in mind? (I’m thinking about how people are complaining about how SSI is (not) helping with discrimination, racism and so on.)
  • How are we going to interoperate with the Europe Green Certificate initiative?
