[Partner Challenge] Global Innovation Challenge in Digital Organizational Identity by GLEIF

A global challenge to build the future of verifiable digital organisational identity starts now.

Overview

 

The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) invites developers, fintech builders, and digital identity innovators to join a global hackathon and shape the future of verifiable Legal Entity Identifiers (vLEIs).

This challenge explores how vLEIs can be integrated into digital systems to enable secure, scalable, and trusted organizational identity across borders and sectors—driving innovation in finance, supply chains, compliance, and beyond.

Challenge Themes

Digital Assets & Financial Infrastructures

Use vLEIs to bring legal entity trust into on-chain environments. Enable secure token issuance, compliant DeFi, and cross-chain identity in digital asset markets.
 

Trade, Supply Chain Resilience & SME Finance

Put vLEIs to work in global commerce. Digitise trust in supply chains, simplify SME onboarding, and unlock new paths to financing.
 
 

Industry, Commercial, Finance Processes & Operations

Apply vLEIs to verify companies, machines, and data in enterprise systems. Think faster KYB, authenticated AI agents, and traceable ESG reporting.
