Shaping the Future of Digital Trust: Geopolitics, Regulation, Innovation & Resilience (Vision Talks)

These high-level vision talks explore how geopolitics, international trade, and technical advancements such as quantum‑safe cryptography are reshaping the global digital signature/ trust agenda — and what that means for LATAM’s regulators and industry. Attendees will gain a strategic view of where signatures, identities, and wallets are heading by 2030 and what policy, technical, and governance choices need to be made today.

Speakers:

●      Borja Carrera | President | GSE

●      Jean Everson Martina| Professor of Computer Science | Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil

●      Verónica Echeverri Villa | Manager 4.0 Industries Exports | ProColombia

Mercusor, EU and LATAM's Digital Signature Ecosystem within the Global Landscape: Harmonizing Regulation with Innovation (Panel Discussion

This panel examines how Mercosur’s mutual recognition of digital signatures interacts with EU eIDAS 2.0, NIST guidance, and national LATAM laws, and what it will take to turn political agreements into operational interoperability. Regulators, standards experts and industry leaders will discuss practical pathways for LATAM authorities and providers to connect to global trust frameworks without losing local control, including the role of CSC standards.

Panelists include:

• Sebastian Elfors | Senior Architect | IDnow Trust Services AB / ETSI / CEN / ENISA
• Arno Fiedler | Vice Chair  | ETSI Working Group Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures
• Edwin Arvey Cristancho Pinilla | CEO | ONAC

Trust Without Border Lunch: Booked Networking Sessions

Topic‑based hosted tables and pre‑booked 1:1 meetings give delegates space to turn morning insights into concrete collaborations. Curated themes may e.g. include Mercosur cross‑border pilots, EU–LATAM cooperation, quantum‑safe migration, and wallet use cases, with CSC members and Summit partners acting as conveners.

CSC Deep Dives - Round 1 (Parallel)

From Signatures to Services: LATAM Business Models, Market Engagement & Collaboration Opportunities

This session looks beyond pure compliance towards scalable, sustainable business models for trust services across LATAM, with a focus on cloud‑based signatures, remote onboarding, and value‑added services. Speakers will showcase successful go‑to‑market strategies, partnership models with e.g. banks and government. Attendees will leave with concrete ideas on pricing, distribution, and collaboration frameworks that work in highly regulated, multi‑jurisdictional environments.

Afternoon Networking Break: Speed Networking and Booked Sessions

Delegates continue structured speed networking or deepen conversations in pre‑scheduled meetings, focusing on deal‑making, regulatory cooperation, and joint pilots. The break is designed to maximize meaningful contact time between regulators, supervisors, QTSPs, platform providers, and researchers.

CSC Deep Dives - Round 2 (Parallel)

Wallet Digital Identity Wallets Implementation - Exchanges on EUDI and other models

This session offers a pragmatic look at how digital identity wallets are being designed and rolled out in Europe under EUDI, as well as in LATAM and other regions. Speakers will compare architectural choices, assurance levels, governance models, and consent frameworks, and explore how signatures, attributes, and credentials can travel with users across borders while meeting local regulatory requirements.

Closing Day 1 & Networking Reception

A relaxed reception to consolidate the relationships built throughout the day and set up concrete collaborations for Day 2 and beyond.

Future‑Proofing Digital Signatures and Digital IDs for 2030 and Beyond

These vision talks outline the long‑term trajectory for signatures and digital identities under pressure from quantum threats, AI, and increasingly complex regulatory requirements. Speakers will explore how to maintain trust, legal certainty, and usability as cryptographic primitives evolve, cross‑border trade accelerates, and users expect seamless, privacy‑preserving digital journeys. The session will frame the day’s tracks by asking what “future‑proof” means in practice for governments, TSPs, critical infrastructures, and global platforms.

TRACK A: Future-Proofing Digital Signatures and Digital IDs

Curated by Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá), this session focuses on practical readiness for the post‑quantum transition in digital identity and signature systems. Speakers will discuss how to select and deploy post‑quantum cryptographic algorithms for identity management and high‑performance use cases, and what their real‑world operational impacts are. The session will also address crypto‑agility, long‑term key and lifecycle management, and alignment with emerging standards such as NIST PQC. Finally, it will help participants identify which assets, data, and processes require long‑term protection, supporting informed prioritization in the face of harvest‑now, decrypt‑later risks.

Track B – Moving Forward on Interoperability and Cross‑Border Collaboration → Bilateral Recognition

Track B focuses on how regulators, standards bodies, and international organizations can accelerate cross‑border interoperability for signatures, identities, and trust services, with a particular emphasis on LATAM. The session will showcase regulatory developments from multiple regions, discuss practical models for mutual recognition and supervisory cooperation, and examine how ETSI, CSC, and other standards can serve as a common language between jurisdictions.
