Tecnoinvestimenti Group Digital Trust Strategic Partnership InfoCert &LuxTrust Joint Venture

27 September 2018

International growth strategy through InfoCert

eIDAS Regulation: the basis for Pan ‐European Trust Services

eIDAS regulation (the regulation on electronic IdentificationAnd trustServices for electronic transactions in theinternet market) was adopted in 2014, but became effective in July 2016.

The result is that for the first time there is a consistent legal framework and a single market for the recognition of electronic signatures and digital identities across all the EU member states. This provides the sector with a predictable regulatory environment to develop and expand the use of electronic signatures and transactions in the EU.

The regulation has standardized market access, allowed for interoperability and opened the European market. The creation of a Digital Trust single market has also attracted the interest of big American players.
