Participation in the summit - by invitation only
Welcome to the Global DPI Summit, where global visionaries and leaders converge to embrace the limitless possibilities of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).
Under the visionary leadership of India's Presidency, the G20 Digital Economy Working Group has identified DPI as a key priority area. DPI, with its profound impact on social, economic, digital, and sustainable development goals, has emerged as a game-changer for digital economy and its stakeholders. It has opened doors to unparalleled opportunities, fostered innovation, and empowered individuals and communities like never before.
While the foundational building blocks of DPI, such as Digital Identity, Digital Payments, and Data Exchanges, have been embraced by many, there is still a global quest for universal adoption of DPI. This journey signifies the diverse perspectives and collaborative spirit of nations working together for a common goal.
The Global DPI Summit presented a beacon of hope and progress, shining its light on the way forward. Its grand stage was set-up in the enchanting city of Pune, Maharashtra, known for rich heritage and vibrant energy. The summit brought together brilliant minds, creative thinkers, and passionate advocates of DPI from around the globe. The summit sought to ignite inspiration, propelling nations to embrace DPI as a catalyst for growth, inclusivity, and citizen’s welfare.
