We’re thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of the first phase of our hackathon on Digital Public Infrastructure interoperability!

Over the past three intensive days, 7 innovative teams tackled the challenge of bridging EU Digital Identity Wallets with Indo-Pacific systems like MOSIP, working with cutting-edge technologies from our expert partners at FIWARE Foundation and GAiA-X.

The Challenge

Teams designed solutions enabling seamless cross-border digital identity verification – imagine EU citizens using their Digital Identity Wallets to access Indian MOSIP-registered services, or vice versa. The potential impact? Enhanced digital services for over 2 billion people across the EU-Indo-Pacific region!
