India Stacks Initiate Debate for Global Participation

The city of New Delhi witnessed a pivotal conference attracting international experts and industry leaders to delve into the transformative potential of Digital Public Infrastructures (DPIs) in the realm of identity. Organised by APSCA (Asia Pacific Smart Card Association), the industry organisation for payments and identity in Asia, the conference – ‘Digital Transformation via Open Public Stacks’ (DTOPS) – was held July 20-21, 2023.

DTOPS is an extension of the APSCA Identity India 2022 forum, which explored the latest developments in government identity, highlighting initiatives and lessons learned in India.

DTOPS 2023 didn’t just mark an intellectual expedition; it was a pioneering endeavour that voyaged into the heart of the significance of DPIs, with identity taking centre stage. The event garnered the support of organisations such as the National Health Authority of India (NHA), Modular Open-Source Identity Platform (MOSIP), Foundation for Interoperability in Digital Economy (FIDE), and Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). This significant gathering was supported by industry sponsors including Mantra, NXP and Touchless ID.
