techUK's Digital ID Summit 2025

The January announcement of a new GOV.UK Wallet and Mobile Driving License has positioned 2025 as one of the most consequential years for UK digital identity. From capturing new headlines to changing political agendas, the increased spotlight has brought complexity - and opportunity.

techUK remains committed that digital ID will form the backbone of a modern digital economy, with our capabilities' across fighting fraud, public service delivery and private sector growth contingent on digital ID adoption.

As Laura Foster, Associate Director for Technology and Innovation at techUK, has emphasised in techUK's analysis:

"Government should integrate proven technologies, rather than starting from scratch. The UK has a highly credible digital ID industry, that is keen to work with government on how this proposal could be taken forward"

For this reason, techUK will convene the industry at a half-day digital ID Summit to share the voice of the sector as critical to the development of this technology. This session will explore: 

• Ensuring the government builds on proven technologies and innovation, not start from scratch.

• Ensuring public and private solutions operate on a level playing field under the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). 

• Unlocking new use cases, setting adoption targets, and building public trust through awareness campaigns. 

• Driving regulatory clarity, enabling innovation sandboxes, and embedding digital ID in a ten-year national strategy. 

Join policymakers, industry innovators, and thought leaders across the digital identity and verification ecosystem as they shape the future of the sector - while connecting with the key stakeholders driving its growth and evolution. Register now!
