In this episode of ID Talk, we speak with Lorenz Flechtenmacher, CEO and co-founder of dewa, about the rapid deployment of digital identity infrastructure in Denmark and what it means for Europe’s eIDAS 2.0 rollout.
dewa recently helped launch a digital identity feature within the widely used e-Boks platform, reaching 5.3 million users and issuing more than 160 million verifiable credentials. The deployment introduced privacy-preserving, single-use age verification credentials designed to prevent tracking and correlation across services.
Flechtenmacher explains how the system works, why privacy-preserving age verification is gaining traction, and what lessons governments and vendors should take from Denmark’s rollout. The conversation also explores the broader challenges facing eIDAS 2.0 adoption, including government-led development models, interoperability timelines, and the role of the private sector.
We also discuss how AI is shaping development workflows, with Flechtenmacher revealing an innovative new solution that will help other companies implement eIDAS 2.0 standards.

This week, FaceTec Chief Identity Technology Strategist Jay Meier joins the ID Talk podcast to discuss one of the most pressing challenges in digital identity today: bringing biometric verification to the industries that need it most. Fresh off a trip to the ViVE 2026 healthcare IT conference in Boston, Jay breaks down the response to FaceTec's new white paper on curing healthcare's $30 billion-plus identity fraud problem, and explains why heavily regulated, critical infrastructure sectors — healthcare, banking, aviation, energy — represent the company's next major frontier.
The conversation covers FaceTec's UR Code technology and how its lightweight, privacy-preserving design is resonating with enterprise decision-makers, as well as an intriguing new concept Jay is developing: extending government-verified identity from inside an airport security zone into the commercial world beyond it. As he puts it, "As I'm getting off the jet, I could tell Hilton I'm on my way — and they will authorize my digital key because they already know who I am."
It's a wide-ranging and forward-looking episode you won't want to miss – especially on the occasion of ID Talk's 200th episode.
