2025 Hackathon on Interoperability of Digital Public Infrastructure

Digital Public Infrastructures (DPIs) refer to open, inclusive, and secure digital platforms such as digital identity, payments, and data exchanges that underpin foundational government and commercial services and can be adapted for global use. DPIs are meant to be interoperable, trusted, and designed for public good, facilitating seamless access and innovation.

The EU-India Trade and Technology Council (TTC) has prioritized cooperation on DPIs, recognizing the potential to create credible, scalable digital foundations in developing countries and enhance interoperability between EU and Indian systems. India’s experience offers tested blueprints for digital identity, e-payments, and secure data sharing, whereas the EU focuses on digital governance, infrastructure, and promoting a human-centric digital economy.
