Bhutan National Digital Identity
Bhutan launched the National Digital Identity(NDI) that uses a decentralised self-sovereign identity framework empowering every citizen to take control of their personal data, enabling them to share only the information that is required for a specific transaction or interaction thereby facilitating trusted interactions between individuals and organizations.
We don't just celebrate innovation – we accelerate it. Selected Bhutan Dev Fest projects receive incubation support, industry connections, and potential funding to transform your hackathon prototype into a market-ready NDI or decentralized solution.
Engage with a diverse community of developers, entrepreneurs, investors, and technology leaders through structured networking events, collaborative coding sessions, and informal meetups designed to forge lasting professional relationships.
Connect with global blockchain experts who provide personalized feedback on your project, technical assistance with implementation challenges, and strategic advice to maximize your solution's impact and market potential.
Participants from six continents bring diverse perspectives to NDI or decentralize innovation challenges.
Our distinguished speakers bring diverse expertise and innovative perspectives to fuel your creativity.
