Panel: DPI Adoption: Technology, Governance and Society

The panel will discuss the challenges and opportunities of different deployment and adoption strategies for DPI–with perspectives from India, Singapore, the World Bank, and the private sector. While these countries have successfully deployed and implemented DPIs at scale, several challenges persist.

• What can we do to offer DPI design choices that are resilient and reusable for solving the most urgent problems that a nation may face?
• How do we address the challenges of building robust DPIs that account for appropriate safeguards to protect privacy, data security and intellectual property for getting the DPI deployment right?
