Join this exclusive panel discussion and Q&A session featuring leading presenters from Japan and across the Asia Pacific, as they explore the pioneering work behind the Asia Pacific Digital Identity (APDI) Consortium—a new initiative focused on building trust, inclusion, and cross-border interoperability in the region’s rapidly evolving digital identity landscape.
Spearheaded by Dai Nippon Printing (DNP) with the launch of Japan’s decentralized identity network in August 2024, APDI is shaping a collaborative ecosystem to enable secure, user-centric digital identity services across Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Myanmar, and Australia, with an eye toward global compatibility, including alignment with European frameworks.
The discussion will dive into:
- What is APDI? – Understanding its vision, goals, and governance
- Use cases in action – Real-world applications spanning bank account opening, cross-border student exchange, and tourism facilitation
- Interoperability challenges – Exploring regulatory, technical, and trust hurdles in creating a seamless digital identity experience across diverse legal and cultural jurisdictions
This session offers valuable insights for identity professionals, policymakers, and solution providers interested in global interoperability, decentralized identity, and inclusive digital ecosystems.
