A Regional Research and Open-Source Innovation Hub
Advancing Inclusive, Open-Source Digital Public Infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific
Why it matters
Digital infrastructure is expanding. But infrastructure alone is not enough.
Across Asia-Pacific, countries are building digital identity, payments and data-sharing systems. The next challenge is ensuring these systems are affordable, inclusive, interoperable, secure and useful for everyone.
AI for DPI
Exploring how AI can make DPI easier to deploy, operate and interact with—while preserving security, consent and accountability.
Face & Liveness
Developing open approaches to face verification and presentation-attack detection that respond to deepfakes and emerging AI threats.
Verifiable Credentials
Researching trusted, privacy-preserving digital credentials and wallets that can work across institutions and borders.
Regional Research Community
Building an Asia-Pacific network of universities, researchers and developers creating and evaluating open DPI technologies.
From Research to Public Value
Built in Asia-Pacific, for Asia-Pacific
AI4DPI connects regional experience with global open-source DPI ecosystems. Country research examines different levels of digital maturity, infrastructure, affordability, inclusion and institutional capacity to understand what works—and under what conditions.
