There are roughly two million people globally who live without any form of identification or formal proof of existence.

As a result, those people are excluded from economic, social and political systems. Yves Petitjean and Giorgio Zinetti are members of the team at Procivis, a Switzerland-based company that is developing digital identity applications on the blockchain in order to bridge the divide between those who do and those who don’t have the benefit of government-provided, trusted forms of identification.
