"Completing the framework", the final eSSIF-Lab's Open Call is now open and running!

While we are still in the early stages of SSI, there is solid traction with standards in development, governments funding the development of ledgers and proof of concepts and a growing number of companies developing products. As a new layer of the internet, there are new platforms based on the standards, and products and services for verticals to be built. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) promises to empower European citizens with new means to manage privacy, eliminate logins, and enjoy much faster and safer electronic transactions via the internet as well as in real life.

Who is eSSIF-Lab?

eSSIF-Lab (European Self-Sovereign Identity Framework Laboratory) is a lab-to-market project that goes under the line “strengthening internet trustworthiness with electronic identities”. The project facilitates the further development, integration and adoption of SSI technologies through a cascade funding approach targeting innovative companies developing SSI based solutions. eSSIF-Lab is championed by leading experts in SSI technologies, cascade funding, business acceleration and continuous deployment of open-source.

In addition, eSSIF-Lab Framework (at GitLab) will be built upon the open-source components provided through its Infrastructure-oriented open call and the generic SSI-based services and applications (being developed with the support of the eSSIF-Lab 1st Business-oriented Programme) and the SSI domain-oriented solutions addressing real-world needs or opportunities (that will be supported by the eSSIF-Lab 2nd Business-oriented Programme).
