‘DigiD blijft in Nederlandse handen’; staatssecretaris zet Amerikaanse overname op losse schroeven
DigiD blijft Nederlands en komt niet in buitenlandse handen. Dat benadrukt demissionair staatssecretaris Eddie van Marum Digitalisering, BBB in Goedemorgen Nederland, naar aanleiding van de zorgen over de mogelijke overname van ITdienstverlener Solvinity door het Amerikaanse Kyndryl. Solvinity speelt een belangrijke rol in de digitale infrastructuur rond DigiD.
