Digital Public Infrastructure and GSMA Open Gateway: Enabling Trusted Digital Transformation at Scale

Digital public infrastructure (DPI) has become an important approach to digital transformation, with countries around the world pursuing implementation models that reflect their development priorities, governance arrangements and digital sovereignty objectives. From interoperable digital identity to payments and trusted data exchange systems, DPI provides a common foundation for secure, scalable and accessible digital services.

This white paper examines the role of the GSMA Open Gateway in DPI ecosystems and explores how existing mobile network capabilities can be securely reused through a global framework of common network application programming interfaces (APIs) to complement national digital identity, digital payments and trusted data exchange initiatives. Drawing on practical deployments, the paper highlights how these capabilities can strengthen trust, improve interoperability and help countries build more resilient and inclusive digital ecosystems.
