Deutsche Arbeitgeber wieder zuversichtlicher, Einstellungsabsichten bleiben aber unter globalen Durchschnitt

ManpowerGroup Arbeitsmarktbarometer für Q4/2026

Frankfurt am Main (ots)

- Vorsichtige Trendwende: Beschäftigungsausblick steigt um neun Prozentpunkte auf 15 Prozent

- Verarbeitendes Gewerbe schafft die Kehrtwende, Information & Kommunikation mit dem stärksten Ausblick aller Branchen

- International bleibt Deutschland auf Abstand zum globalen Beschäftigungsausblick von 29 Prozent

Nach zwei rückläufigen Quartalen legen die Einstellungsabsichten der deutschen Unternehmen zum Jahresende wieder zu. Das aktuelle Arbeitsmarktbarometer der ManpowerGroup weist für das vierte Quartal 2026 einen saisonbereinigten Netto-Beschäftigungsausblick* (NBA) von 15 Prozent aus - neun Prozentpunkte mehr als im Vorquartal (6 Prozent) und der stärkste Anstieg des Jahres. Nach dem Tiefpunkt des Jahres im Sommer ist das eine deutliche Gegenbewegung. Ein flächendeckender Aufschwung ist es aber nicht: Gegenüber dem Vorjahresquartal liegt der Ausblick zwei Punkte niedriger, und im internationalen Vergleich bleibt Deutschland weit hinter dem globalen Durchschnitt von 29 Prozent zurück.

Der Anstieg speist sich vor allem daraus, dass weniger Unternehmen Stellen streichen wollen. Nur noch 17 Prozent der Arbeitgeber rechnen mit einem Abbau. Das sind sieben Punkte weniger als im Vorquartal. 33 Prozent planen einen Aufbau, 47 Prozent wollen ihre Belegschaftsgröße stabil halten.

"Die Einstellungsabsichten senden ein erstes Signal für eine mögliche Trendwende am Arbeitsmarkt", sagt Faris Becirovic, Country Manager und Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung der ManpowerGroup Deutschland. "Der wirtschaftliche Aufschwung ist in Deutschland bisher nur in Ansätzen erkennbar. Umso bemerkenswerter ist, dass die Unternehmen beim Blick auf ihre Beschäftigung wieder zuversichtlicher werden. Einstellungsabsichten können sich aufhellen, bevor sich die Entwicklung in den harten Konjunkturdaten widerspiegelt."

Erholung zieht sich durch fast alle Branchen

Die Verbesserung erfasst nahezu alle Wirtschaftszweige**: Sieben der neun untersuchten Branchen legen gegenüber dem Vorquartal zu. Den stärksten Ausblick meldet Information & Kommunikation mit 23 Prozent. Das entspricht einem Plus von neun Punkten gegenüber dem Vorquartal und einer Verbesserung von vier Punkten im Jahresvergleich.

Die deutlichste Kehrtwende gelingt dem verarbeitenden Gewerbe. Nach einem negativen Wert im dritten Quartal klettert der NBA um 19 Punkte auf 7 Prozent und erreicht damit wieder das Niveau des Vorjahres. Für die exportstarke Industrie ist das die Rückkehr aus dem roten Bereich.

Die Sonderauswertung für den Sektor Technologie & IT-Dienstleistungen weist außerdem eine deutliche Erholung dieser Branche auf: Der Wert steigt von 5 auf 27 Prozent und macht den Einbruch des Vorquartals wett.

Rückhalt kommt zudem aus den binnenorientierten Bereichen. Der öffentliche Sektor, Gesundheit & soziale Dienste legt um 12 Punkte auf 19 Prozent zu und bestätigt seine Rolle als Stütze des Arbeitsmarkts. Auch Handel & Logistik (20 Prozent; +13 Punkte) und das Gastgewerbe (22 Prozent; +17 Punkte) verbessern sich spürbar.

Gegen den Trend entwickelt sich Bau & Immobilien. Der Ausblick sinkt um fünf Punkte auf 18 Prozent, obwohl das 500 Milliarden Euro schwere Infrastruktur-Sondervermögen bereitsteht. Im Jahresvergleich bleibt der Sektor mit plus neun Punkten dennoch deutlich im Plus.

Verhaltene Aussichten zeigen sich zudem im Bereich Finanzen & Versicherungen (15 Prozent) sowie den professionellen, wissenschaftlichen und technischen Dienstleistungen (11 Prozent): Beide legen zwar gegenüber dem Vorquartal zu, verlieren im Jahresvergleich aber deutlich (-17 beziehungsweise -19 Punkte). Den schwächsten Ausblick meldet der Bereich Versorgung & natürliche Ressourcen mit 3 Prozent bei einem Rückgang von 14 Punkten.

International bleibt Deutschland im unteren Feld

Auch wenn der Beschäftigungsausblick für das vierte Quartal positiv ausfällt - im weltweiten Vergleich bleibt Deutschland unter dem globalen Durchschnitt von 29 Prozent. Auch das europäische Mittel von 20 Prozent liegt darüber. Innerhalb Europas bewegt sich Deutschland in einer ähnlichen Größenordnung wie Frankreich (13 Prozent) und Italien (16 Prozent), während Länder wie die Niederlande oder Schweden spürbar optimistischer sind.

"Unternehmen sollten diese Phase nutzen, um ihre Workforce auf eine wieder steigende Nachfrage vorzubereiten", so Becirovic. "Jetzt müssen die Fragen beantwortet werden: Welche Skills werden gebraucht? Wo brauchen wir flexible Kapazitäten? Und wie stellen wir Recruiting so auf, dass wir schnell skalieren können? Wer damit erst beginnt, wenn die Aufträge bereits da sind, verliert wertvolle Zeit. Strategisches Workforce Management wird damit zum Wettbewerbsfaktor."

Regional geben die Metropolen den Takt vor

Auch regional verläuft die Erholung uneinheitlich. Die diversifizierten Großstädte führen: Berlin erreicht 28 Prozent (+15 Punkte), München springt um 21 Punkte auf 22 Prozent und macht den Sommereinbruch wett, der Norden legt auf 17 Prozent (+10 Punkte) zu. Zurück bleiben die industriell geprägten Regionen. Der Süden kommt trotz kräftigem Quartalsplus nur auf 8 Prozent und liegt neun Punkte unter dem Vorjahr, der Westen bewegt sich in diesem Zeitraum mit 15 Prozent kaum (+1 Punkt).

IDnow-Studie: Verbraucher müssen von der EUDI-Wallet erst noch überzeugt werden

Die neue EUDI-Wallet-Verbraucherstudie von IDnow zeigt, warum Verbrauchern bisher noch das Vertrauen fehlt, welche Hürden bestehende Verifizierungsprozesse mit sich bringen und welche Funktionen für die Akzeptanz der EUDI-Wallet entscheidend sein werden.

MÜNCHEN, 8. September 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wenige Monate vor der für Dezember 2026 geplanten Einführung der EUDI-Wallet veröffentlicht IDnow, Anbieter für digitale Identitäten und Betrugsprävention, die Ergebnisse einer Verbraucherbefragung unter je 1.000 Erwachsenen in Deutschland und Frankreich. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die EUDI-Wallet bisher bei etwas mehr als der Hälfte der Verbrauchern (52 %) bekannt ist. Gleichzeitig trifft die Technologie auf einen Markt, in dem komplizierte Verifizierungsprozesse Finanzdienstleister bereits heute Kunden kosten. Für Anbieter ist daher entscheidend, das Vertrauen der Verbraucher zu gewinnen.

Bei bestehenden Verfahren zur Identitätsprüfung sehen die Befragten deutlichen Verbesserungsbedarf. Fast die Hälfte (48 %) gibt an, Transaktionen häufig abzubrechen, wenn der Verifizierungsprozess zu kompliziert ist oder zu lange dauert.

Sicherheit und Transparenz zählen mehr als schnelle Prozesse

Damit die EUDI-Wallet von den Verbrauchern angenommen wird, ist vor allem Sicherheit entscheidend. 42 Prozent der Befragten nannten besseren Schutz vor Betrug als wichtigsten Faktor für die Nutzung. Für knapp ein Drittel (31 %) ist zudem eine größere Kontrolle darüber, welche Daten sie preisgeben, von zentraler Bedeutung. 30 Prozent wünschen sich mehr Transparenz und möchten nachvollziehen können, welche Daten verwendet werden. Schnellere und einfachere Prozesse sind dagegen für 28 Prozent ausschlaggebend.

Die Akzeptanz hängt von den Vorteilen ab

Zusätzliche Identitätsprüfungen schrecken deutsche Verbraucher grundsätzlich nicht ab. 42 Prozent der Befragten würden zusätzliche Prüfungen hinnehmen, wenn sie die Sicherheit erhöhen – selbst, wenn das den Prozess verlängert. Bei einem erhöhten Betrugsrisiko würden sich lediglich 15 Prozent trotzdem für weniger Kontrollen entscheiden.

Beinahe zwei Drittel (64 %) der deutschen Verbraucher geben außerdem an, die EUDI-Wallet eher nutzen zu wollen, wenn sie bestimmte Angaben wie etwa das Alter bestätigen könnten, ohne dafür sämtliche Informationen offenzulegen. Bei diesem Prinzip der „selektiven Offenlegung" werden nur die für den jeweiligen Zweck erforderlichen Daten geteilt.

Der Wandel zur digitalen Wallet erfolgt schrittweise

Die EU-Mitgliedstsstaaten sind verpflichtet, die EUDI-Wallet ihren Bürgern bis Dezember 2026 zur Verfügung zu stellen und Banken müssen die Wallet bis Dezember 2027 akzeptieren. Trotzdem dürfte es noch dauern, bis sich die EUDI-Wallet flächendeckend durchsetzt. Auf die Frage, wie sie ihre Identität bei einer Kontoeröffnung am liebsten nachweisen würden, haben die deutschen Verbraucher keine einheitliche Antwort. 26 Prozent bevorzugen eine persönliche Identitätsprüfung vor Ort, 16 Prozent das Auslesen eines NFC-Chips und jeweils 13 Prozent eine digitale Identitäts-Wallet oder einen Videoanruf mit einem Mitarbeitenden. Zehn Prozent würden bevorzugt ihren Ausweis zusammen mit einem Selfie einreichen.

Mit der zunehmenden Verbreitung digitaler Wallets werden andere Verfahren daher nicht verschwinden. Banken müssen vielmehr in der Lage sein, ihren Kunden abhängig vom erforderlichen Sicherheitsniveau das passende Verfahren anzubieten und den Prozess gleichzeitig so einfach wie möglich zu gestalten – wie es etwa die kürzlich veröffentlichte IDnow Trust Platform ermöglicht.

„Die Daten sprechen eine klare Sprache: Deutsche Verbraucher verstehen die Probleme, die die EUDI-Wallet lösen soll, aber sie sind noch nicht überzeugt, dass sie die richtige Lösung ist. Sie wissen, dass Identitätsbetrug zunimmt, Online-Verifizierung nicht funktioniert und dass das Teilen von mehr Daten als nötig echte Risiken birgt. Bisher kennen sie aber noch keine Lösung, der sie vertrauen können. Genau diese Lücke muss die EUDI-Wallet schließen", so Philippe Morel, CEO von IDnow.

Der vollständige Report „Die Identitätslücke" bietet eine detaillierte Analyse der aktuellen Gewohnheiten im Bereich der digitalen Identität, der Erwartungen der Verbraucher, der Sicherheits- und Datenschutzbedenken, der Hindernisse bei der Einführung sowie der Einstellungen zu zukünftigen Anwendungsfällen.

Methodik

Die Studie wurde im Juni 2026 von Sapio Research im Auftrag von IDnow online unter 1.000 deutschen Erwachsenen im Alter von 18 bis 80 Jahren durchgeführt. Die Stichprobe wurde nach Alter und Geschlecht gewichtet, um repräsentativ für die deutsche Bevölkerung zu sein.

About Implantica

Implantica is a medtech company focused on bringing advanced implantable technologies into the body designed to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. The company's lead product, RefluxStop®, is an FDA approved and CE-marked implant for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with the potential to transform the standard of care in anti-reflux surgery, supported by strong long-term clinical outcomes.

In addition to RefluxStop®, Implantica has developed a broad, patent-protected product pipeline partly incorporating two platform technologies: an eHealth platform designed to enable communication with and remote monitoring and control of implants inside the body, and a wireless energizing platform designed to wirelessly power implantable devices through intact skin. These investigational devices are intended to facilitate remote changes to treatment, potentially saving cost for society.

Implantica is listed on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market (ticker: IMP A SDB). Visit www.implantica.com for further information.

About RefluxStop®

RefluxStop® is a treatment for GERD designed to address the root cause of acid reflux. Conventional anti-reflux surgical procedures typically rely on encircling the esophagus and are often associated with side effects such as swallowing difficulties, inability to belch or vomit, and gas bloating. RefluxStop is different and aims to restore and maintain the lower esophageal sphincter in its natural anatomical position without encircling or applying pressure on the food passageway. Commercial performance from a multitude of centers supports the clinical study data collected and shows that the RefluxStop® device can successfully treat GERD without wrapping or constricting the esophageal sphincter, thereby avoiding the side effects commonly seen with the other current treatment approaches. Long-term 5-year clinical outcomes on RefluxStop® have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and support that a significant portion of the patient population will achieve clinically meaningful results, with minimal risks, when used in accordance with the indications for use.

Indications for Use: RefluxStop® is an implantable sterile medical device intended to treat acid and non-acid reflux in patients diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The device ensures maintenance of a normal physiological situation for the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) in a defined intra-abdominal position, allowing natural physiological function of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), thereby reducing or eliminating acid and non-acid reflux. The RefluxStop® Deployment Tool is indicated for patients diagnosed with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), defined by abnormal impedance pH and/or pH testing, and indicated for RefluxStop® implantation.

Highlands Community Services Featured on "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia"

Resolving the Rural Care Divide Through Compassion and Collaboration

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- An upcoming Public Television program will examine how community-based behavioral health initiatives resolve geographic isolation and systemic trauma through integrated local support.

Highlands Community Services will be featured in an upcoming Public Television segment of "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia" focusing on quality behavioral health solutions. The educational broadcast examines how trauma-informed treatment models resolve long-standing barriers to mental health and addiction recovery in rural areas. Viewers will gain insight into how partnering with first responders, law enforcement, and local schools creates a compassionate safety net for vulnerable individuals.

The production highlights how utilizing community partner and patient feedback addresses systemic service gaps. Highlands Community Services shares how focusing on a comprehensive system of care enables clinical leaders to refine services, crisis intervention programs and workforce development initiatives. The segment demonstrates how evidence-based care models replace institutional fragmentation with sustainable personal healing, building stronger and healthier local communities.

"We take great pride in the investments we make in our staff and resultantly our community. Our primary focus is to develop and provide a quality, sustainable, and responsive service array to meet the behavioral health needs of our community. Regardless of diagnosis or demographics, individuals should have consistent access to industry-leading, quality care close to home." Rebecca Holmes, Executive Director of Highlands Community Services

In many rural regions, law enforcement personnel frequently serve as primary responders during acute behavioral health emergencies, leading to unnecessary arrests and strain on public resources. Resolving this challenge requires strong community partnerships that bridge public safety and clinical care.

Lion at a Glance

~406Mlb contained CuEq | ~3.9% CuEq | >85% Indicated | Starts at surface |~59% of tonnes within open-pit resource | >98% Cu recovery | 25%+ Cu concentrate | MRE cut-off April 19| 5 rigs active| Post cut-off deep drilling not included | Assays expected by end of September

TORONTO, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Power Metallic Mines Inc. (the "Company" or "Power Metallic") (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for its Nisk Project (Power Metallic 80% / Critical Elements Lithium Corp. 20%) in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of Québec, including the inaugural mineral resource for the Lion Zone and an updated mineral resource for the Nisk Main deposit. The MRE was prepared by SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014), has an effective date of June 19, 2026, and incorporates drilling completed to April 19, 2026.

Power Metallic has declared the inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate for the Lion Zone, a high-grade, copper-dominant polymetallic deposit discovered in 2023 at the Nisk property. Over 85% of the initial Lion resource is classified as Indicated, while mineralisation remains open for expansion.

Lion contains 4,145,000 Mt Indicated at 3.86% CuEq (1.68% Cu, 2.61 g/t Pd, 0.85 g/t Pt, 0.49 g/t Au, 12.21 g/t Ag, 0.10% Ni), and 601,000 Mt Inferred at 4.01% CuEq (1.84% Cu, 2.86 g/t Pd, 0.59 g/t Pt, 0.41 g/t Au, 12.47 g/t Ag, 0.13% Ni).

Locked-cycle testing completed by SGS Canada of representative mineralization from Lion has returned copper recoveries above 98% across all composite samples tested, producing concentrates grading over 25% Cu, with high recoveries also reported for gold, palladium, platinum and silver.

The Company is currently assessing proposals from engineering firms to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") evaluating the development potential of Lion including the integration of the Nisk resource.

Ongoing resource expansion drilling with 5 active rigs is targeting extensions at depth and along strike with assays from the summer 2026 program expected starting in September 2026.

The updated MRE also restates the existing Nisk nickel-copper resource, which will be assessed alongside Lion as part of the broader PEA development strategy.

Mineral Resource Statement

2026 Lion Deposit Mineral Resource Estimate at a cut-off grade of 0.35% CuEq for the open pit MRE and 0.90% CuEq for the underground MRE, June 19, 2026.

2026 Nisk Deposit Mineral Resource Estimate at a cut-off grade of 0.30% NiEq for the open pit MRE and 0.80% NiEq for the underground MRE, June 19, 2026.

Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic, commented:

" This inaugural Lion resource confirms what the drilling has been telling us: Lion is a high-grade polymetallic deposit. Approximately 4.75 million tonnes grading close to 4% CuEq has been defined, containing approximately 406 million pounds of CuEq, with more than 85% of the resource already in the Indicated category. Importantly, high-grade mineralisation begins at surface, and the deposit remains open at depth. We believe the quality of Lion has been demonstrated. Now our focus is on demonstrating its scale.

The Federal and Québec governments have put a number of incentive programs in place for critical-minerals projects, and we believe the Company may qualify for several of them. Combining these potential incentives with the high-grade mineralisation from surface and our location next to existing road and major power infrastructure, Lion has the potential to be developed with a relatively modest initial footprint and capital requirement.

From here, the exploration question is how deep Lion goes and where the nickel went. Lion carries the copper and precious metals that come out of a magmatic sulphide system last; the nickel-rich sulphide that comes out first should be somewhere in the system, and we have not found it yet. The summer program has been aimed at the down-dip extension of the shoot, with some holes targeting hundreds of metres below the current resource. Assays on Lion Deep are expected by the end of September"

Joe Campbell, VP Exploration of Power Metallic, added:

"Lion is a textbook fractionated copper- and precious-metal-rich shoot within a magmatic sulphide system. The advantage at Lion over similar deposits of this type is that it begins at surface and is modelled continuously to more than 600 metres vertical depth. The deposit remains open at depth and our priority since the April 19, 2026 cut-off date for drill holes in the MRE has been to test the shoot below 600 metres with deep step-out drilling, following up with borehole EM to delineate more mineralization."

Lion Zone Geology and Depth Potential

The Lion Zone comprises multiple modelled lenses of copper–PGE–gold–silver–nickel–cobalt sulphide mineralization that together form a continuous, steeply plunging shoot extending from surface to approximately 675 metres down-dip (more than 600 metres vertical depth), the limit of drilling included in the MRE to April 19, 2026. The modelled shoot is approximately 400 metres along strike at its widest and 290 metres at its narrowest, and consists of multiple subparallel lenses, each approximately 2 to 15 metres thick, within a mineralized package up to 50 metres thick that dips at approximately 65° to the north-northwest. The high-grade core of the shoot is dominated by massive to brecciated chalcopyrite and cubanite with pyrrhotite, pentlandite and pyrite. The deepest reported hole intersecting the core of the Lion shoot to date (PML-25-002) intersected 1.95 metres at 7.95% CuEqRec* at approximately 610 metres vertical depth (see news release dated April 30, 2025). The Deposit remains open at depth with subsequent deeper drilling, as illustrated by drill targets PML26-121A, PML-26-125 and PML-26-128A in Figure 1, completed after the cut-off date for the MRE and below the modelled zone intersecting visible copper mineralization (assays pending).

Lion is interpreted as a magmatic sulphide system. As the sulphide liquid cools, nickel-rich monosulphide solid solution crystallizes first and the residual liquid becomes progressively enriched in copper, platinum, palladium, gold and silver. This fractionated, copper- and precious-metal-rich liquid is the most mobile phase and migrates furthest away, from the original source; the copper–PGE footwall vein deposits of the Sudbury district are the classic example. Lion's metal endowment – dominated by copper, palladium, platinum, gold and silver with subordinate nickel and cobalt, and with the highest palladium grades hosted in massive copper sulphide – is consistent with that fractionated end-member. The Company's working model is that the Lion shoot represents a gravity-driven sulphide accumulation whose down-plunge extent has not yet been tested.

Depth continuity of this order is well documented in analogous camps. In the Sudbury district, the Creighton mine has been developed to approximately 2.4 kilometres below surface; Glencore's Onaping Depth project has reached ore at approximately 2,600 metres; Nickel Rim South was mined between approximately 1,100 and 1,720 metres; and the copper–PGE footwall veins of the Morrison deposit at Levack were developed between approximately 1,200 and 1,650 metres and remain open at depth. Readers are cautioned that the depth extent and grade of mineralization at these deposits are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization at Lion, which has been drilled to approximately 600 metres vertical depth (see "Cautionary Notes" below).

Power Metallic's program to test the down-plunge extension of the Lion shoot includes borehole electromagnetic surveys from the deepest holes on the shoot, and deep step-out and wedge drilling from existing collars. Results will be incorporated into future resource updates.

Metallurgy

Metallurgical test work on Lion mineralization has been carried out by SGS at its Quebec City and Lakefield laboratories (see news releases dated January 19, 2026 and May 26, 2026). Two locked-cycle flotation tests have been completed: LCT1, on a blended composite of high-grade and low-grade material representative of run-of-mine feed, and LG2, on a low-grade composite of disseminated mineralization designed to test whether lower-grade material responds to conventional flotation. Both tests produced a single high-grade copper concentrate carrying the platinum, palladium, gold, silver and nickel, with results summarized in Table 4. The LG2 results support the inclusion of lower-grade disseminated material in the Mineral Resource. Mineralogical work indicates that copper occurs as coarse-grained chalcopyrite and cubanite and that most platinum-group minerals occur within or attached to those copper sulphides (see news release dated July 23, 2025). Hydrometallurgical testing of the copper concentrate to evaluate a direct-to-metal processing route is in progress. The metallurgical recoveries applied in the MRE are set out in Note 7 to Table 1.

These metallurgical results are analogous to similar deposits in the Sudbury camp noted above and typical of the high-grade Cuprous zone or Copper zone of these deposits.

IDnow publie son enquête sur l'EUDI Wallet : des consommateurs intéressés mais prudents avant son déploiement en décembre

La dernière enquête d'IDnow met en lumière le déficit de confiance, le coût des parcours complexes et les fonctionnalités qui détermineront l'adoption de l'EUDI Wallet.

MUNICH, 8 septembre 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IDnow, leader européen de l'identité numérique et de la prévention de la fraude, publie aujourd'hui les résultats complets de son enquête consommateurs sur l'EUDI Wallet, dont le déploiement est prévu en décembre 2026.

Menée auprès de 2 000 répondants en France et en Allemagne, l'enquête révèle que l'EUDI Wallet arrive sur un marché où sa notoriété reste faible, où les parcours complexes coûtent déjà cher aux services financiers et où la confiance des consommateurs reste à gagner.

Selon les personnes interrogées, les processus actuels de vérification d'identité disposent d'une marge d'amélioration importante : près de la moitié d'entre eux (46 %) déclarent abandonner fréquemment une transaction lorsque la vérification est trop complexe ou prend trop de temps.

La sécurité et la transparence plutôt que la rapidité

La sécurité sera le facteur déterminant pour faire accepter l'EUDI Wallet par les consommateurs : 40 % des répondants citent une meilleure protection contre la fraude comme le critère déterminant de son adoption. Près d'un tiers (31 %) accordent également une importance centrale à un meilleur contrôle sur les données qu'ils partagent, tandis que 29 % attendent davantage de transparence sur l'utilisation des données. En comparaison, des processus plus rapides et plus simples ne sont déterminants que pour 28 % des répondants.

Une adoption conditionnée à des bénéfices concrets

Les contrôles d'identité supplémentaires ne constituent généralement pas un frein pour les consommateurs : 47 % des répondants les accepteraient s'ils permettaient d'améliorer la sécurité, même au prix de démarches plus longues. À l'inverse, face à un risque de fraude accru, seuls 13 % opteraient pour moins de contrôles.

Près des deux tiers des consommateurs (63 %) se disent également davantage enclins à utiliser l'EUDI Wallet s'il leur permet de prouver un attribut, comme leur âge, sans avoir à transmettre l'ensemble de leurs informations. Cette capacité à ne partager que les données strictement nécessaires, selon le principe de la « divulgation sélective », constitue la principale valeur ajoutée de l'EUDI Wallet.

Une adoption qui ne se fera pas du jour au lendemain

Bien que les États membres de l'Union européenne soient tenus de mettre l'EUDI Wallet à la disposition de chaque citoyen d'ici décembre 2026 et que les banques doivent l'accepter à compter de décembre 2027, l'enquête montre que son adoption généralisée prendra probablement un certain temps.

Interrogés sur la méthode qu'ils préféreraient utiliser pour vérifier leur identité lors de l'ouverture d'un compte bancaire, les consommateurs restent partagés : 24 % privilégient une vérification en personne, 14 % un portefeuille d'identité numérique, 13 % la lecture d'une puce NFC, 11 % l'envoi d'une pièce d'identité accompagné d'un selfie et 10 % un appel vidéo avec un agent.

L'essor des portefeuilles numériques ne fera donc pas disparaître les autres méthodes. Les établissements les mieux préparés seront ceux capables d'orienter chaque client vers le parcours qui lui convient et le niveau de garantie requis, sans rupture dans l'expérience. C'est précisément dans cet objectif que l'IDnow Trust Platform a récemment été lancée.

« Les données sont sans équivoque : les consommateurs européens comprennent le problème que l'EUDI Wallet est censé résoudre, mais ils ne sont pas encore convaincus qu'il en constitue la solution. Ils savent que la fraude à l'identité progresse, que la vérification en ligne montre ses limites et que partager plus de données que nécessaire comporte des risques réels. Ils n'ont toutefois pas encore trouvé de solution à laquelle ils puissent faire confiance : c'est précisément ce fossé que l'EUDI Wallet devra combler », déclare Philippe Morel, CEO d'IDnow.

L'enquête consommateurs sur l'EUDI Wallet, intitulée « La fracture de l'identité numérique », propose une analyse détaillée des habitudes actuelles en matière d'identité numérique, des attentes des consommateurs, des préoccupations liées à la sécurité et à la protection de la vie privée, des obstacles à l'adoption et des attitudes envers les futurs cas d'usage.

Méthodologie

L'enquête consommateurs d'IDnow sur l'EUDI Wallet a été réalisée en ligne par Sapio Research en juin 2026 auprès de 2 000 adultes âgés de 18 à 80 ans en France (1 000 répondants) et en Allemagne (1 000 répondants). Les échantillons ont été pondérés selon l'âge et le genre.

IDnow Publishes EUDI Wallet Consumer Survey Revealing Cautious Optimism Ahead of December Rollout

New IDnow research shines a light on the trust gap, friction costs, and features set to shape EUDI Wallet adoption.

MUNICH, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IDnow, Europe's leader in digital identity and fraud prevention, today published the full findings of its EUDI Wallet Consumer Survey, ahead of the EUDI Wallet's scheduled December 2026 launch.

The report, which features responses from 2,000 adults across France and Germany, reveals that the EUDI Wallet is entering a market where awareness is low, friction is already costing financial services, and consumer trust is there to be won, but only by those who earn it.

According to respondents, current identity verification processes leave significant room for improvement, with nearly half (46%) of respondents stating they often abandon a transaction when processes are too complex or take too long.

Security and Transparency Matter More Than Speed

Security is crucial for the EUDI Wallet to gain consumer acceptance. 40% of respondents cited better protection against fraud as the most important factor for using it. For just under a third (31%), greater control over what data they disclose is also of central importance, while 29% want more transparency and the ability to track what data is being used. Faster and simpler processes, on the other hand, are decisive for 28%.

Acceptance will Largely Depend on the Benefits

Additional identity checks do not generally deter consumers, with 47% of respondents saying they would accept additional checks if they increased security, even if that lengthened the process. If the risk of fraud were to increase, only 13% would still opt for fewer checks.

Nearly two-thirds (63%) of consumers also stated they would be more likely to use the EUDI Wallet if they could confirm certain details, such as their age, without having to disclose all their information. The ability to share the minimum necessary information via 'selective disclosure' is the core value proposition of the EUDI Wallet.

Adoption Will Not Happen Overnight

Although EU member states must make the EUDI Wallet available to every citizen by December 2026 and banks are required to accept them by December 2027, the EUDI Wallet Consumer Survey shows that it will likely take some time before the EUDI Wallet becomes widely adopted.

When asked about their preferred method for verifying their identity when opening a bank account, consumers remain divided: 24% prefer in-person verification, 14% a digital identity wallet, 13% scanning an NFC chip, 11% submitting an ID along with a selfie, and 10% a video call with an agent.

This suggests that the rise of digital wallets will not cause other methods to disappear. The best-prepared institutions will be able to guide each customer toward their preferred onboarding process and required level of assurance, without disrupting the experience. The IDnow Trust Platform was recently launched for that very purpose.

"The data tells a clear story: European consumers understand the problem that the EUDI Wallet is designed to solve, but they have not yet been convinced that this is the solution. They know that identity fraud is rising. They know that online verification is broken. They know that sharing more data than necessary carries real risk. What they have not yet seen is a solution they can trust and that is precisely the gap the EUDI Wallet must close," says Philippe Morel, CEO of IDnow.

The EUDI Wallet Consumer Survey, 'The Identity Gap,' provides a detailed analysis of current habits regarding digital identity, consumer expectations, security and privacy concerns, barriers to adoption, and attitudes toward future use cases.

Methodology

The IDnow EUDI Wallet Consumer Survey was conducted by Sapio Research in June 2026, covering 2,000 adults aged 18–80 across France (n=1,000) and Germany (n=1,000), weighted by age and gender.

Milestone reflects a doubling of treatment volumes in EMEA over the past three years, as growing access to incisionless therapy for essential tremor and Parkinson's disease reaches more than 62 treatment centers across 20 countries, even as significant gaps in access and reimbursement remain across the region

HAIFA, Israel and FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Insightec, a global medical technology company dedicated to using MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) to transform patient care, announced today that 10,000 patients across the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region have now been treated with the company's Exablate® Neuro platform for essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. The milestone caps a decade of growth for focused ultrasound in EMEA and reflects a rapid acceleration in adoption: the number of patients treated across the region has more than doubled over the past three years as more hospitals bring incisionless treatment to patients who once had no options beyond medication or invasive surgery.

MR-guided focused ultrasound is now available at more than 62 treatment centers across 20 countries in the EMEA region, with continued growth in both essential tremor and Parkinson's disease indications. That growth is part of a larger global footprint of more than 30,000 patients treated at 226 centers worldwide.

"Ten thousand is a number, but behind every one of those treatments is a person who got their life back: a hand steady enough to hold a cup of coffee, or write a birthday card, or hug a grandchild without shaking," said Jake Ghannam, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer at Insightec. "We're proud of how far focused ultrasound has come in EMEA, and just as proud to see Parkinson's disease patients now benefiting from the same incisionless approach that's already changed thousands of lives with essential tremor. None of this happens without the clinical teams who believed in this therapy early and did the hard work of building it into their standard of care."

Ghannam's reflection on the technology's growth is one measure of the milestone. For individual patients, the measure is much more personal.

In Spain, Juan José, a 56-year-old carpenter who has lived with essential tremor since childhood, is one of them. The condition runs in his family, passed down to his own son, and for years José grew so self-conscious about his tremor that he retreated to his home workshop rather than let others see his hands shake. He recently completed his second-side treatment, a few years after his first MRgFUS treatment for his dominant hand, and the results have brought him real relief.

"I didn't want to go out with my partner because I felt like people were watching my every move when drinking a glass of water or picking up a fork. People notice all of that, so you avoid it." José said. "In a way, I had completely lost confidence in my ability to live a normal life. Now I feel that I am in control of everything again. You realize it yourself and think My God, this, this is living! Now I understand what life is like for normal people."

That kind of outcome is what has drawn a growing number of physicians to the treatment over the past decade. But even as access has grown, the milestone also underscores how much work remains. Across the EMEA region, millions of people live with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease, yet access to advanced treatment options remains uneven, and a patient's ability to receive focused ultrasound can still depend significantly on where in they live. While patients in some countries benefit from established treatment pathways and broader reimbursement, others continue to face significant barriers to care.

"Ten thousand patients is a milestone worth celebrating, but it also reminds us how much more there is to do," said Insightec Chairman and CEO Maurice Ferré, MD. "Where someone lives should not determine whether they can access an appropriate treatment option. Our ambition is to work alongside clinicians, patient organizations, healthcare systems and government bodies to help create broader and more equitable access to high-quality care throughout the world. Our next milestone isn't simply about reaching a bigger number. It's about seeing more patients treated every year, in more countries, with more equitable access to care."

Insightec continues to work with health authorities, clinical societies and patient groups across the world to close that gap and to help establish sustainable treatment pathways in the countries where access still lags.
