The Kingdom of Bhutan is leveraging digital assets and strategic investments to propel its national development agenda, integrating blockchain technology and sustainable economic planning.
The Kingdom’s digital transformation has been, for the most part, shaped by the approach of Druk Holding and Investments (DHI), the country’s sovereign wealth fund. One of Bhutan’s most notable digital government efforts is the National Digital Identity (NDI) platform, a decentralized national identity system program that is now part of the Global Acceptance Network. Initially developed by DHI, NDI was spun off as a 100 percent DHI-owned startup and has become a cornerstone of Bhutan’s public service modernization.
