Enigio’s journey from a deep tech startup to the provider of digital original documents
Corporates and authorities in countries all over the world are today still depending on the management of paper documents. A major obstacle when substituting paper documents with electronic documents has been the requirement to be able to manage and present documents in their original form.
The concept of a document has over centuries served as the carrier of promises and commitments. Legislations related to property, trade, and finance as well as for government administration is generally based on the concept of documents, often in need of notarisation. These documents are carriers of trillions of euros in monetary value globally, and they are a cornerstone for our modern society.
The current incumbent solutions (such as electronic signatures on a PDF) do not cater for a complete and correct digital representation of a physical document. There is a need to take one step further to achieve perfect equivalents of paper documents.
In this lecture Göran Almgren, co-founder of Enigio will talk about Enigio’s journey from a deep tech startup to the provider of digital original documents focussing on how to create a solution for freely transferable digital original documents and verifiable copies of these originals. He will also elaborate on how such a solution would work with existing legislations within the EU and globally.
