ashington, DC — October 15, 2025: APCO, Civitas ID, and Diplomatic Courier today will host “The Missing Infrastructure,” an intimate, curated roundtable on the sidelines of the 2025 World Bank Group/IMF Annual Meetings.

This roundtable, held during the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings, will explore how universal, human-centric digital identity systems can restore agency to individuals while bolstering economic resilience for countries and communities. Experts from finance, technology, and civil society will chart a future where identity is the foundation for inclusive growth and stability.

- Amb. M. Ashraf Haidari | Founder, Displaced International
- Amit Sharma | Founder & CEO, FinClusive
- Colin Walsh | Founder, Civitas ID
- Mara Hedgecoth | Chief Communications Officer, APCO
Some key questions they will discuss:
- How can digital identity be a foundation for financial inclusion and resilience?
- What role can multilateral institutions play in setting global standards for ID credentialing systems?
- What lessons can host economies learn from pilots in Africa and Latin America?
