Description
MOSIP requires a foundation of complementary technologies and human expertise--no one company or firm can deploy robust digital public infrastructure for a nation. In this episode, we'll explore how MOSIP is building an ecosystem of software vendors, infrastructure providers, IT integrators, custom development firms, and other domain experts who provide the business, legal and cloud technology capable of delivering their solution to diverse markets.
We'll also discuss how this collaborative approach positions nations to expand MOSIP’s reach by linking identity credentials to critical public and private services.

Takeaways
-
⚡ To slightly oversimplify, MOSIP's goal is to write software that enables national governments to uniquely identify citizens, issue them credentials and to integrate with the citizen registry and other IT systems.
-
⚡ To install MOSIP into production requires a web of complex partnerships: a government team to lead the effort, IT services companies to provide supplemental expertise, hardware vendors who interface with MOSIP biometric collection and uniqueness APIs, standards bodies working on credential formats and protocols, a growing MOSIP open source community, and even other open source projects, some of which are Digital Public Goods (DPGs).
-
⚡ Not only does MOSIP have formalized training for partners, but they require a partner to deploy a test instance so the MOSIP team can kick the tires, to make sure it's up to snuff.
