In 2025, Switzerland is preparing to launch a statewide e-ID system amidst public skepticism after a failed referendum in 2021. The revised e-ID aims to address concerns surrounding digital identity, including how it affects individuals, organizations, and consumer rights. Digital identities consist of data points like login details and biometric information that shape online interactions. A live debate hosted by Euronews is set to explore these pertinent issues, focusing on security, privacy, and the impact of digital identities on everyday life. Residents still harbor significant concerns about identity management.
Digital identity is broadly defined as being a collection of data points identifying an individual or an organisation in a digital space.
The Swiss government has been modifying their offering ever since and is now looking to launch a new, refined version in 2026.
The debate will discuss consumer protection, security and privacy, trust and consumer digital literacy.
Residents still face many questions and concerns about how these identities are created and managed.
