Digital public infrastructure in the Indo-Pacific: security, privacy and accessibility
The rollout of digital public infrastructure (DPI) promises transformative impacts in the Indo-Pacific, driving technological advances, better delivery of public services and inclusive growth across a region in which millions of people remain un- or underbanked. Done well, DPI—a foundation of digital identification, payment platforms, FinTech solutions, and data exchange systems—fosters innovation and economic growth, particularly when it integrates 5G networks, IoT connections and AI.
Whether centralised, commercial, community-based, or locally developed, different DPI models offer distinct advantages and disadvantages with respect to interoperability, scalability, and accessibility. This session considered the emerging DPI ecosystem and how Indo-Pacific states can ensure cross-border interoperability, security, inclusion and openness in adopting various DPI models.
Speakers in this session included: Kanishk Gaur, Founder of the India Future Foundation, Steven Matainaho, Secretary of Papua New Guinea's Department of Information Communication Technology, Dr Rajeswari Pillai Rajagopalan, Resident Senior Fellow at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and Ivan John E. Uy, Secretary of the Philippines Department of Information and Communications Technology.
