Jurisdictions are looking to simplify the onboarding for digital identity and the requirements for digital signature in the company registration procedures. Making company registration accessible for domestic and foreign founders and investors has become a mandatory improvement. Recent solutions involve the use of blockchain for digital business identity and online onboarding using biometrics and AI/machine learning for identity validation.
