Episode 4: The private sector wants a stake in legal ID

In this episode we explore how private companies are involved in ID schemes around the world and how new open-source, plug and play ID platforms give governments more control over that private sector involvement. We also take look at private sector messaging on legal identity and its fusion with digital and biometric ID that was presented at the ID4Africa 2022 summit, and more.
