The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) today announces the establishment of the vLEI Technical Advisory Board, a cross-industry body assembled to provide technical, governance, and developmental support to the growing vLEI stakeholder ecosystem.

The vLEI Technical Advisory Board consists of technology experts at globally respected organizations including Accelerate GmbH, esatus AG, healthKERI, Provenant Inc. and Prosapien LLC. It is chaired by Christoph Schneider, GLEIF's Head of IT. The Board will work with GLEIF to facilitate ecosystem growth by supporting the system's scalability and technical interoperability, promoting related use cases and participating in pilot projects, building partnerships, and strengthening ties with the Open-Source community to enable seamless adoption of vLEIs on a global scale.

vLEI digital organizational identity was developed in response to the urgent unmet need for tamper-resistant credentials to provide greater security, convenience, versatility, and ease of use for organizations and the persons representing them in official or functional roles.
