Direct e-invoicing

The Direct e-Invoicing Innovation Track shows how open and secure, wallet-based models enable trusted exchange of verifiable data and documents — with e-invoicing as a practical entry point.

It addresses key challenges around global interoperability, data minimisation, and resilience.

Together with public and private stakeholders a series of hands-on innovation phases has been successfully completed — now moving into the next phase:
Verifiable Trade & Compliance.

FIDES Labs acts as the initiator, concept developer and neutral coordinator of the track, supported by a group of experts. This track explores how business wallets, decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials enable a more direct and trusted way of exchanging data.

Next step: Verifiable Trade & Compliance

The next step is the initiation of a new FIDES Innovation Track: Verifiable Trade & Compliance, building on the outcomes of this track and expanding towards global, cross-border use cases and broader trade & compliance processes. Details are currently being developed — organizations interested in participating or supporting this track are invited to get in touch.
