Founded in early 2025 in the United Kingdom, Velocert is a commercial technology company developing and operating a platform for issuing and verifying digital learning and skills credentials. The company’s work centers on enabling credentials to function across multiple credentialing systems and technical environments, particularly by supporting both European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDC) and international Open Badges standards.  Velocert operates at the intersection of digital credential technology, emerging European credential infrastructure, and global interoperability standards

Velocert was established to address fragmentation in digital credential ecosystems, where credentials are often bound to specific platforms or regional systems. The organization’s stated mission is to support credential portability, authenticity, and long-term verifiability by aligning credential issuance with recognized technical and regulatory frameworks.

Focus of activities:

• Development of tools for institutions and training providers to issue digital credentials
• Implementation of dual-format credential issuance (EDC and Open Badges)
• Application of cryptographic signing and electronic seals for credential authenticity
• Integration with digital credential wallet environments
• Publication of technical specifications and APIs to support ecosystem testing and feedback
