Aceblock's proposal SSI-as-a-Service has reached the 2nd stage of the eSSIF Business-oriented Programme

The eSSIF-Lab Business-Oriented Programme is an 8-month programme to accelerate SSI-related businesses and social solutions, structured in 3 competitive stages. It includes business and technical support to integrate SSI technology with market propositions and projects, and will be funded up to €106K, depending on the stage each project reaches.

Aceblock was among 21 companies that have qualified to enter the first phase of the competition, in which our task was to define the proposed SSI-as-a-Service solution, its value proposition and targeted time to market. All that, to clarify the status of our product development and the objectives we aim to pursue during the eSSIF-Lab Call.

Now, we are happy to inform you that the jury recognized the market potential of our solution, which enabled us to enter the second phase of the competition, where only 15 projects will continue their battle. This part will focus more on the productization and platform’s technical deliverables, meaning the competing teams will be challenged to further develop their projects through preparation of mock-ups and a prototype that will ultimately lead to a MVP, business plan and customer onboarding.

What is more, the competition puts a lot of emphasis on generating links and business partnerships within the eSSIF-Lab projects and broader, meaning the projects are encouraged to networking and building synergies to enable the growth of SSI ecosystem

We look forward to new challenges that will boost the development, integration and adoption of Self-Sovereign Identity technologies, all that leading to SSI can become the choice of the people and businesses!

AceBlock experts participated in UK Government Public Call For Evidence on Digital Identity

In 2019, the UK Government issued a public Call for Evidence on enabling digital identity system fit for the UK’s growing digital economy, in which AceBlock experts too contributed their expertise.

The call was launched as a part of an ongoing consultation process to understand better the potential of digital identity, improve citizen experience and access to services, safeguard privacy and combat fraud in the digital space.

The Call for Evidence received 148 responses, coming from technology, professional services, finance sectors and individuals, including ours. The decision to respond to the call is in line with the fulfiling our company’s mission, explains our CEO Tomislav Mučič: »Secure digital identity infrastructure is an essential yet missing component of all online transactions today. From this point of view, we consider it very important that we can contribute with our expertise and technical know-how and engage in a meaningful conversation with governments and regulators to making the new infrastructure secure, efficient and operational.«

 

The UK Government will use the response to prioritize policy development in the issues raised, including user privacy, complex delivery models, common language, global leadership and right to redress. Drawing on the call for evidence reponses, the Digital Identity Strategy Board has developed principles to frame digital identity delivery and policy in the UK which will be reviewed on annual basis.
