At Truid, our mission has always been to empower individuals with greater control over their digital identity. Today, we are excited to share a significant milestone in our journey - Truid is joining forces with Kivra. Their acquisition of Truid's technology platform and team marks a major step forward in accelerating the development of a secure and user-centric digital identity wallet.
The European Union is driving the development of digital identity wallets, designed to give EU citizens more control over their personal information. These wallets will securely store and allow users to share essential digital documents such as driver's licenses, diplomas, and health records. Truid's digital identity solution was built according to the future specification of the EU digital identity wallet.
In Sweden, Digg - the Agency for Digital Government - is overseeing the framework for digital identity wallets, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements and maintain the highest security standards. This aligns with Truid’s long-standing commitment to secure and privacy-focused identity solutions.
Kivra has established itself as Sweden’s leading platform for secure digital communication, trusted by millions of users. By becoming part of Kivra, Truid’s expertise in digital identity solutions will play a key role in developing a next-generation identity wallet that puts users in control of their personal data.
Henrik Lönnevi, CEO of Kivra, shares his vision for the future:
“We are already seeing a growing need for individuals to share their information securely and on their own terms. Kivra and digital identity wallets go hand in hand, and with Truid’s expertise, we can accelerate the development of a platform that ensures secure data sharing. This is an exciting step towards the digital future.”
The team of Truid remains firm in its core mission - to ensure that individuals can share their identity and credentials securely, on their own terms. As part of Kivra, Truids technology team will continue to build innovative solutions that make identity management safer, more seamless, and accessible for all.
We are incredibly excited about this next chapter for Truid and the opportunities it brings for enhancing digital identity solutions in Sweden and beyond. Together with Kivra, we will continue to innovate, ensuring that secure and user-controlled digital identities become an integral part of everyday life.
