On Monday, December 22nd, 2025, youniqx Identity, a digital subsidiary of the Austrian State Printing Company (OSD), announced that it has won a Europe-wide tender, in partnership with other companies, for the infrastructure of the German EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI-Wallet).
According to EU regulations, all member states are required to provide a national version of the EU-wide valid EUDI-Wallet by the end of 2026. This will allow citizens to use the Wallet to prove their personal identity throughout the EU.
“We are pleased to announce that youniqx Identity AG, a digital subsidiary of the Austrian State Printing Company, has been selected to build the technical platform for the German state’s EUDI-Wallet in partnership with our esteemed partners,” said Helmut Lackner, OSD General Director and youniqx Identity CEO. “This achievement is a testament to our internationally renowned expertise in secure digital identity.”
The consortium, led by youniqx Identity, which includes “A1 Digital International GmbH”, “CRYPTAS Group”, and “msg group”, successfully won the Europe-wide tender and has been awarded the contract by the German “Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation” (SPRIND).
Working closely with SPRIND, youniqx Identity will be responsible for building the necessary technical platform to ensure the secure and data-protection-compliant operation of the Wallet App. The focus will be on security, efficiency, and comprehensive data protection.
Having presented a digital identity app prototype in 2015, the Austrian State Printing Company has been at the forefront of digital identity since 2017, with the OSD Group consolidating its expertise in this area in its digital subsidiary youniqx Identity AG. Leveraging their extensive experience, youniqx Identity will contribute its expertise to the development of the technical platform and the secure, data-protection-compliant operation of the Wallet App for the EUDI-Wallet in Germany.
“We are proud to be able to utilize our extensive experience as a pioneer in digital identities for the German SPRIND,” added Lackner.
