About this talk:

This event marks the official launch of the 2025 State of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) Report, produced by University College London’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP). Bringing together researchers, policymakers, practitioners and civil society, the session will present the most comprehensive global assessment of DPI to date. The research team will share key findings from the report, including a refined framework for defining DPI, a global baseline of digital ID, payments and data exchange systems across 210 countries, and insights into patterns of adoption, interoperability and governance. The discussion will also address current measurement challenges and what they mean for tracking progress and shaping the future of digital government worldwide.
