Since 2023, digital public infrastructure (DPI) has gained global momentum as a foundation for financial inclusion, better public and private service delivery, and innovation. DPI — digital ID, payments, and data exchange — is now central to governance debates worldwide.
The infrastructure-first Indian model is the most visible today. Yet Europe, Asia, Africa, and the private sector are charting alternative paths, grounded in distinct regulatory philosophies, technical architectures, and rollout strategies. At the same time, one of DPI’s greatest promises lies in its ability to connect across borders and simplify payments, verification, and data flows.
This roundtable will tackle the core challenge: how can countries design locally attuned DPI systems that achieve adoption, while ensuring global interoperability and avoiding fragmentation of the digital economy? Panelists will debate governance models and standards shaping the next generation of DPI and launch a new white paper to frame a path forward.
