Global momentum

DPI is no longer a concept; for our partner countries, it is a reality. Supported by CDPI, these nations are currently deploying verifiable identity systems, interoperable payment networks, and consented data sharing infrastructure, including verifiable credentials at scale.
These countries are combining minimalist technology interventions, public-private governance, and vibrant private market innovation. These targeted interventions rapidly formalise economies and drive readiness for an AI era.
