“Over the past few years, we have build a decentralized identity infrastructure because we believe that in today’s and the future’s world people have to become owners of their digital identity again. We need the drive now to build use cases, to challenge our society and to show politics and the economy that this is the future and it can be done. We hope that the Founder Challenge will have a positive impact in influencing the digital transformation – for the next generation of founders as well as for companies that can now position themselves at the frontier of digital identity.”
Tanja Ludwig, CEO & Founder myEGO
“Especially when it comes to disrupting outdated systems, as is the case with digital identity, those responsible in government but also in business often lack the determination & above all the courage to take the first steps, even at the risk of not being 100% right from the start. With our Founder Challenge we offer founders, but especially companies, to create a solution for a use case in the environment of digital identity that fits directly into the practical environment of an established company without great risk. Thanks to our existing infrastructure, these use cases will be ready for use in just 6 months and can then prove themselves in the market.”
Marcus Schmitt, Co-Founder myEGO
