In this episode of Voices of Data Economy, we chat with Pelle Brændgaard, former engineering lead at uPort who is passionate about Blockchain-related projects with a focus on Identity, KYC, and the developing world.


Pelle Brændgaard simplifies DIDs (Decentralised Identifiers) and verifiable credentials for us;  challenges the lack of real use cases when it comes to self-sovereign identity (SSI); talks about the need for a genuine decentralised identity ecosystem and more.
