Description
Remember when a diploma was just a fancy piece of paper with a stamp? Fasten your seatbelts as we time-travel from the paper-laden past to a future where your wallet is not just for old receipts and forgotten loyalty cards. We'll look at the past, present and future: from the world of paper certificates, through today’s digital jungles where Google and Apple reign supreme, to a future where digital wallets are as essential as your morning coffee. Find out how we can swap vendor lock-in for innovation, autonomy, and, dare we say, digital freedom. Prepare to leave with a vision of a world where your digital credentials are as easy to share as funny cat memes.
