Global implications: Japan and Europe working together

"In terms of digital personal information management, there has been a growing awareness of issues related to IT platforms that amass large amounts of personal data. This has led to the rise of "Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)" - Mark Medum Bundgaard, CPO at Partisia.

The Japanese government is collaborating with industry leaders to develop a trusted digital framework. One key initiative, The Trusted Web, seeks to create secure and decentralized data-sharing structures. Partisia and TOPPAN Edge's collaboration is aligned with this vision.

"We are delivering an innovative solution that holds the potential to strengthen connections between Japan and Europe. At Partisia, privacy is at the heart of everything we do," Bundgaard added.
