A major new project kicks off with new point of view and workshops. Our interconnected digital world has started to make a mockery of traditional forms of identification. Being asked to produce ‘two forms of ID; at least one from each of the two following lists’ already seems hopelessly anachronistic in a world of automated password-managers, RFID-driven payments systems, and bio-metric authenticators on our mobile phones.

The Nordics is one such region and its success and perspectives on the future hold lessons for many others. Over past three years there have been over 200 Future Agenda workshops globally exploring many related issues…
