Thought Leader in Digital Identity Wallets and Trusted EU Infrastructure

Lorenz Carl Flechtenmacher is Co-founder and CEO of dewa, a fast-growing digital identity startup working with e-Boks to deliver a new generation of secure digital wallets for Europe. With a background in engineering and strategy and experience from companies such as Bosch, KPMG and Continental, he combines technical insight with a clear view of how regulation and market needs are reshaping identity in the EU.

At dewa, Lorenz focuses on building wallet technology that is compliant with eIDAS 2.0 and the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI) framework, turning complex standards into simple user experiences for citizens, students and businesses. dewa’s wallet has already been recognised in the DTU X-Tech+ programme, piloted as a digital student ID, and listed as an EBSI-conformant holder wallet – underlining its role in Europe’s emerging identity infrastructure.

Through the strategic partnership with e-Boks, Lorenz and dewa are helping connect cutting-edge wallet technology with a platform already trusted by millions for secure digital communication. Together they are turning EU policy on digital identity into real services, from age verification and digital student cards to future cross-border use cases. Lorenz is particularly passionate about building identity solutions that are privacy-preserving, interoperable and practical for everyday life, so organisations can earn trust while meeting the next wave of European requirements.
