In June 2025, we hosted a day-long conference on the Economics of DPI in New Delhi to lay the foundation for policy-relevant, evidence-based research that can inform the scale-up of DPI globally. The conference brought together a diverse group of stakeholders from academia, think tanks, government, multilateral institutions, philanthropy, and industry to engage in meaningful dialogue on the future of DPI. The event also marked the beginning of a sustained, Global South-led research agenda on the economics of DPI.
