AI agents have stopped just answering questions, they’re booking, transacting, spending and accessing systems on our behalf, often without a human reviewing each step. In this paper, Katryna Dow, Meeco's CEO & Founder, argues this is a different problem, not just a faster one. An agent without a verifiable identity is an actor without accountability, and that gap is quietly becoming a liability inside almost every organisation deploying agents today.

The paper traces that gap across three fronts: identity, governance, and the bigger picture, from Estonia issuing AI agents their own ID numbers, to China’s new agent regulation, to Pope Leo XIV’s recent encyclical on AI and human dignity. It closes with a practical five-question framework any organisation can use to decide, case by case, whether it’s genuinely ready to deploy an agent.

Developed from Katryna’s keynote at KuppingerCole’s European Identity and Cloud Conference (EIC 2026) in Berlin, this is essential reading for identity, security, risk and innovation leaders navigating agentic AI right now, not in some hypothetical future.

Over the past two years, the EU invested €46 million in the European Union Digital Identity (EUDI) Large Scale Pilots. This included working alongside 550+ organisations across 27 countries to answer one critical question: Can we build digital identity that actually works for people?

The results are in, and they’re both encouraging and sobering. This Meeco report synthesises insights from all four pilots covering travel, banking, education, social security and more.

The foundation has been laid and what we do next will determine whether Europe delivers. Read the full report to explore these detailed insights to understand what it means for your organisation’s roadmap.

The pressure is mounting for a wide range of organisations to make a measurable contribution towards global net zero targets. And while regulatory focus is squarely on compliance carbon markets, consumer and investor interests are the driving force behind the activity of large consumer brands in the voluntary market.

This Meeco report outlines some of the key questions about carbon markets for brands starting down this path and concludes with some practical steps that organisations can take to make a measurable difference.

Awareness of the power of verifiable credentials is growing as the requirement for improved data privacy and security increases.

Our pilot program explored the value proposition and technical feasibility of using verifiable credentials as part of an onboarding process for a workforce with specialised skills that needed to be checked.

Commentary on the topic of personal data management and analysis EU’s prospective data strategy.

Meeco’s review points out some of the most important elements of the EU’s position on various data issues, as well as the key elements of its strategy. All direct excerpts from the original documents are clearly referenced and demonstrated through relevant case studies.

This whitepaper details Meeco’s approach to enable a commercial, legal and technological bridge between highly regulated, trusted economic actors (government, financial services and telecommunications) and a personal data ecosystem that includes people participating directly in the value chain via the “API-of-Me”.

This paper was written in early 2018. Back then, the Meeco team was already looking ahead to the exciting decentralised future by exploring the existing distributed ledger technologies available at the time. They have evolved since then and Meeco has continued to be blockchain agnostic as well as leveraging Hedera Hashgraph on its tech stack.
