The state of the market

Digital identity is undergoing a fundamental shift. Governments are mandating open, interoperable standards for digital credentials — the EU's eIDAS2, the UK's DIATF, and US state-level mDL rollouts are creating real procurement demand. Meanwhile, platform giants (Apple, Google, Microsoft) are racing to own the wallet layer before it becomes a regulated utility.

UWI sits in the middle of this as infrastructure: a hybrid cloud wallet and verifiable credential platform built for enterprises and governments who need portability, standards compliance, and multi-jurisdiction support that closed-ecosystem players can't provide.

The opportunity is real but the window is competitive. This site helps the team understand the terrain.
