• Presentation Title: Rethinking paper-based documents in Germany: a new approach
• Presentation 2-Line Description: In Germany, immigration and identity management still relies on a wide variety of paper-based documents, each with its own complexity and legacy. But what if these documents could be rethought from the ground up? To achieve this, we have developed an innovative document concept, particularly in terms of fraud prevention, inspection efficiency and personalisation.
