MOSIP community shares practical digital identity deployment lessons at Connect 2026

Digital identities created with the open-source MOSIP platform are being used by a growing number of people across an expanding number of countries to ease access to public and private sector services.

The people working to implement, utilize and build on the platform convened in Rabat, Morocco for MOSIP Connect 2026 in February, where the agenda reflected the growing maturity of the ecosystem. The community addressed issues that have risen to critical prominence, like brownfield ID implementations, biometric data quality and the tricky-to-define digital sovereignty, over the course of three days packed with presentations and panel discussions. From practical considerations for deploying Digital Public Infrastructure to technical fixes for common challenges, MOSIP Connect 2026 provided the forum for stakeholders to share their ideas and experiences for expanding the use of open-source digital ID systems.
