Singapore, 18 October 2024 – Accredify, Asia Pacific’s leading digital trust solutions provider, is proud to announce its appointment as one of the first companies to serve on the board of the newly established Asia Pacific Digital Identity Consortium (APDI). The consortium brings together key players from across the region to collaborate on the development of digital identities and digital trust solutions, such as verifiable credentials, with the goal of driving secure data management and interoperability across the Asia-Pacific region.

APDI was formed to foster digital trust in the regional digital ecosystem by accelerating the development and adoption of digital identities and verifiable credentials. Securing digital trust in APJ’s cross-border ecosystem has become critical, as rapid technological advancements and international data exchange have created global challenges in privacy and data integrity, including fraud and spoofing. To address these burgeoning issues, the consortium aims to build a trusted digital IT economic zone by uniting governments, private sector organisations, and international entities to establish governance, set interoperable standards, and enable real-world use cases for digital identities and verifiable credentials.

Accredify’s Selection
Accredify was selected to join APDI due to its deep expertise in providing digital trust and identity solutions to both the public and private sectors. The company’s proven track record in verifiable credentials and trusted data has played a pivotal role in accelerating the adoption of secure and scalable digital trust solutions across the region. Accredify’s solutions are already in use across high-stakes environments such as healthcare, education, and government, where secure, trusted data is critical for operational efficiency and compliance.

Tan Jing Yi, Chief Operating Officer, Accredify, expressed her excitement: “Being part of APDI is an incredible opportunity for us to collaborate with industry leaders and policymakers to build a robust framework for digital identities and verifiable credentials in the region. At Accredify, we are committed to shaping the future of digital trust by empowering organisations to operate securely, knowing that their data is always verifiable and tamper-proof.”

APDI, established by Dai Nippon Printing and Turing Space, will see Accredify serving on the board besides LORDSYSTEM and ZADA Solutions.
 

What Accredify Hopes to Achieve
Through its role in APDI, Accredify aims to help drive the consortium’s objectives of:

• Establishing policy frameworks for the governance of digital identity and verifiable credential technologies across borders.
• Creating and promoting real-world use cases for digital identity and verifiable credentials to enhance daily life for individuals across the APJ region.
• Fostering innovation and inclusivity by helping build a trusted digital economy that is accessible to all, regardless of digital infrastructure disparities.

In 2025, Accredify will be part APDI’s efforts in collaborating with governments, private sector, and international organisations in the APJ region to align on protocols for the verification of digital IDs and related verifiable credentials. From 2026 onwards, Accredify will participate in APDI’s work towards building an economic zone for digital IDs.

Accredify looks forward to contributing to the consortium’s mission to bring digital inclusion and trust to the region.
